Marzouk recently met Abdel Aziz Elsherif, head of the Egyptian Commercial Service (ECS), to discuss a comprehensive plan to boost Egyptian exports of apparel and textiles.<\/p>\n
The meeting focused on strategies to promote sectoral growth, mitigate the negative effects of global trade tensions and attract foreign investment amid shifting global supply chains, a domestic media outlet reported.<\/p>\n
Elsherif noted that a key component of the plan involves strengthening coordination between the ECS and export councils to fully leverage the efforts of Egypt\u2019s commercial offices abroad.<\/p>\n
The ECS will also facilitate direct engagement between Egyptian officials and major international importers, in addition to supporting promotional missions and participation in global exhibitions.<\/p>\n
