Danish companies in Egypt will announce new investments in the Egyptian market as they see huge potentials in the country, Hanzada Farid, Head of Trade Council at the Danish embassy in Cairo, said.

“We had a very fruitful meeting with Minister of Investment and International Cooperation (MIIC), Sahar Nasr, on Thursday. The minister went an extra mile to provide support to Danish businesses,” Farid told Daily News Egypt.

The meeting included the ambassador of Denmark, Tomas Anker Christensen, in addition to representatives of about four major Danish companies, Farid added, noting that the participants also took a tour at the New Investment Center to closely identify its services where all the participants asserted a rebound over the MIIC services.
