Egypt positioned to link Africa’s resources with global markets, petroleum minister says

Egypt has the capabilities to play a pivotal role in connecting Africa’s resources with regional and international markets, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi said.

Badawi stressed that Egypt’s strengths qualify it to support greater African integration across the petroleum, natural gas and mining sectors.

His remarks placed cooperation in these industries at the centre of Egypt’s potential contribution to closer economic links across the continent.

The minister’s message highlighted two connected priorities: supporting integration among African countries and strengthening the links between the continent’s resources and markets beyond its borders.
