The joint Egyptian-Romanian
committee for economic cooperation had previously held its
meetings. The business forum between the two countries also took place at the
Chamber of Commerce in Bucharest, where Engineer Yassin Mohammed, Executive
Managing Director of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company EGAS, delivered a
speech highlighting the significant development in cooperation with the
Romanian side in the field of natural gas.
This cooperation has evolved into a strategic partnership based on the strong relationship and extensive experience of Egyptian natural gas distribution companies and their skilled personnel, which qualify them to participate in natural gas distribution projects outside Egypt. He emphasized that our Romanian partners, represented by Transgaz and Ciz Gas companies, have established distinguished cooperative relationships with us that have developed into strategic partnerships.
