Egypt, Palestine make plans to boost economic ties
A Palestinian delegation to Egypt discussed ways to boost cooperation in the fields of oil, economy and trade as Palestinians work to sever economic ties with Israel.
Shortly after the Palestinian delegation's return from Egypt, Palestinian Minister of Agriculture Riyad Attari received a call from his Egyptian counterpart Izzedine Abu Stet. According to Palestinian government spokesman Ibrahim Milhem, the Egyptian official thanked his Palestinian counterpart for a successful visit and expressed his willingness to accelerate the importation of Palestinian dates to Egypt.
Milhem, who participated in the visit, told Al-Monitor that the three-day meetings that included 11 cabinet ministers were “warm and highly successful.”
