In April, Egyptian Minister of Investment and International Cooperation Sahar Nasr has lauded Egyptian-Jordanian profound relations, saying the Egyptian government is keen on developing investment ties with Amman.

She made the remarks during a meeting with a business delegation comprising a number of CEOs of Jordanian companies working in Egypt, the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation said in a statement.

During the meeting, which was held on the sidelines of the ministerial committee's talks in Jordan, the investment minister called on Jordanian businesses to increase their investments in Egypt, as they currently stand at USD 600 million, the statement added.
