Egypt, UAE Sign $3B MoU for Petroleum Logistics Projects
Egypt’s Cabinet signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Arab Emirates relating to logistics projects in the petroleum sector, with investments potentially reaching USD 3 billion (EGP 147.5 billion), a Cabinet press release announced on 8 August.
The signing ceremony, witnessed by Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, featured key figures from Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and Emirati-owned Fujairah Oil Industry Zone.
