Abdelatty made the remarks during a meeting with executives and chairpersons of several major Indian companies, including Ocior Energy, TCI Sanmar, and the Hinduja Group.
According to the Egyptian foreign ministry, the meeting was held on the sidelines of the BRICS foreign ministers' meeting, which took place in New Delhi on 14–15 May.
During the talks, Abdelatty said Egypt is seeking to attract more foreign investment by improving the legislative and institutional framework, enhancing transparency, and removing obstacles facing investors. He added that these efforts are aimed at strengthening the role of the private sector in driving economic development.
The foreign minister also stressed the government’s commitment to supporting foreign companies operating in Egypt, resolving challenges facing investors, and facilitating business operations in the local market.
Abdelatty highlighted Egypt’s strategic location, advanced infrastructure, and extensive network of free trade agreements as key advantages for investors seeking access to regional and international markets and broader export opportunities.
Representatives of the Indian companies welcomed the investment opportunities available in Egypt and expressed interest in expanding their operations in the country.
The meetings came as part of broader efforts to deepen economic and investment ties between Egypt and India.
On Thursday, Abdelatty also met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he reaffirmed Egypt’s aim of increasing trade with India to $12 billion over the next five years.
