The Egyptian diplomat was speaking during the opening ceremony of the Egyptian trade mission exhibition, where over 10 major Egyptian companies have participated.

The event was organized by the Engineering Export Council of Egypt in cooperation with the Egyptian Embassy in Abidjan and the country's commercial representative office, to open new markets for Egyptian exports of engineering industries.

Seif noted trade missions play a principal role in showcasing the capabilities of Egyptian industries, especially in the engineering sector, while creating opportunities for holding bilateral meetings with the prominent importers in Côte d'Ivoire, one of the most promising economies in West Africa.
