"The participation of Egypt is an excellent opportunity to enhance economic cooperation and investments as well as finding solutions to the obstacles facing the world economy," the Ministry said in a statement.
Nassar said that the event, which takes place from June 6-8, is an important annual platform, in which leaders of global economic powers sit down to discuss trade challenges facing Russia and the world.
