Cairo welcomed leaders and business delegations from across the Gulf on Monday as the Egypt–Gulf Trade and Investment Forum began, aiming to strengthen economic and investment ties. The two-day event gathers ministers, senior officials, and business leaders to discuss opportunities across energy, industry, logistics, agriculture, food security, tourism, and technology.

Egypt’s Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, highlighted the growing role of Gulf investments in Egypt, noting that GCC countries remain among the nation’s top economic partners. He pointed out that Egypt’s economy grew by 4.4% in 2024/2025, a significant rise from 2.4% the previous year, fueled largely by industry, tourism, and energy sectors.

The UAE delegation, led by Undersecretary Mohamed Abdulrahman Al Hawi, brought representatives from major Emirati companies and economic institutions. Their participation underscores a commitment to exploring strategic partnerships and investment opportunities across key sectors in Egypt.

Over the course of the forum, participants are engaging in discussions designed to enhance the private sector’s role in driving sustainable growth and regional economic integration. With focused sessions on technology, logistics, and food security, the event reflects a shared goal of fostering mutually beneficial economic collaboration between Egypt and GCC states.
