The MoU was signed by Egyptian Minister of Trade and Industry Nevine Gamea, Jordanian Minister of Industry Trade and Supply Yousef Alshamali, and yet to be signed by Iraqi Minister of Industry and Minerals Manhal Al-Khabbaz.

“The renewable three-year agreement comes according to President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi’s directives yesterday during his meeting with Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II,  and as an outcome of the tripartite summit held in Amman last year,” Gamea said.

She explained that, under the agreement, the three countries will establish a coordination and follow-up committee, to prepare and implement plans and mechanisms to enhance industrial and commercial integration.

The minister noted that it would also facilitate the establishment of joint industrial projects between the three countries, by setting up mechanisms and coordinating industrial policies to promote integration in the sectors of common interest, including: chemicals, fertilizers, agricultural pesticides, garments, ceramics, leather, and human and veterinary medicines.

The deal, she further added, stipulates cooperation between the three nations in the fields of exhibitions and non-customs technical obstacles.
