Egypt’s exports to Spain increased by 80 percent during the last nine months despite the coronavirus crisis, Mohamed al-Masry, Vice President of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce, said. Egypt has been one of the few countries around the world that has achieved a positive growth rate during the coronavirus crisis. The renewal of the financial cooperation protocol between Egypt and Spain reflects the depth of relations between the two countries. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday that he briefed Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Egypt’s firm position on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam crisis. Earlier, Sisi stressed the importance of water for Egypt, describing it as a matter of “life or death”.
