A Kuwait parliamentary delegation held talks Wednesday with Egyptian Prime Minister Atef Ebeid on fostering bilateral relations in all areas, reported the official Kuwait news agency (KUNA).
The Kuwaiti delegation started its visit to Cairo on Saturday and met Speaker of Parliament Ahmed Fathi Srourr, said KUNA.
MP Mubarak Al Khreinej, who heads the delegation, said discussions also covered upgrading Kuwaiti investments and trade exchange volumes within the framework of joint Arab action.
He added that discussions with Ebeid also touched on joint projects by businessmen from both states, adding that Kuwaiti investments in Egypt exceeded the billion dollar level.
The Kuwait MP, meanwhile, praised Egypt's “unwavering support for Kuwait's just causes, including the PoWs still locked up in Iraqi jails,” KUNA quoted him as saying – Albawaba.com
