In his speech, the head of the Agency emphasized the rapid development of economic cooperation in recent years between Poland and Egypt. He spoke about both Polish investments successfully implemented in our partner’s country, as well as bilateral economic exchange.

Poland has a long history of positive diplomatic relations with Egypt. It is also a country that Poles associate very positively with culture and history. Our companies are becoming more and more bold in operating on the Egyptian market. I am convinced that today's Forum will accelerate and strengthen this cooperation even more - said Andrzej Dycha, PAIH’s Chairman.
