Egyptian Ambassador to the European Union Badr Abdel Ati held a series of meetings with a number of senior EU officials.

The Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that discussions focused on ways of boosting trade relations between Egypt and the EU by promoting the flow of Egyptian exports to EU markets, expanding training programs, building capabilities, and upping the competitive edge of Egyptian goods.

The talks also tackled the importance of fostering EU investments in Egypt by attracting EU companies to do business in the country.
