Egypt to double trade

ANKARA - Anatolia News Agency

Trade volume between Egypt and Turkey could increase from $5 billion to $10 billion in less than two years, Egypt’s ambassador to Ankara has said.

“We don’t want to limit ourselves with trade volume of $5 billion. We can increase it to $10 billion in less than two years,” said Abderahman Salaheldin, speaking at the Boğaziçi Regional Partnership Summit in Istanbul on Dec. 15.

“In parallel to that, we can increase Turkish investment from $1.5 billion to $5 billion in two to three years.”
