President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi always directs to completely cooperate with Sudan, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Friday during the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding between Egypt and Sudan.

The MoU was signed between Sudanese Minister of Investment and International Cooperation Al-Hadi Mohamed Ibrahim and the Egyptian General Authority For Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) on the sideline of the first forum of the heads of African investment promotion Agencies (IPAs).

The prime minister wished that the inked MoU would contribute to enhancing the investment ties with Sudan.

Meanwhile, Ibrahim conveyed Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's greetings to Madbouli, wishing the deal would benefit Sudan and foster the bilateral ties.

The minister thanked President Sisi for his strong supportive stances towards Sudan and his recent statements during the Paris Conference on Sudan.

Egypt also signed a MoU with South Sudan to facilitate communication in the investment fields.

The forum is being held in the seaside city of Sharm El-Sheikh from June 11-14, under the slogan "Integration for development."

Ministers and heads of investment authorities from 34 African countries as well as representatives of leading institutions and economic blocs are attending the event.
