to keep politics and economy separate, Hisarcıklıoğlu reported that 200 Turkish
companies continue to produce and invest in Egypt.

developments and expressed his belief that they will reach the target of $ 15
billion trade volume set by the presidents of the two countries in a short

‘Egyptian companies’. I would like to thank Mr. Sisi and Mr. Minister for
this.”
