At the beginning of his visit to the factory, the Prime Minister pointed out that the oil industry in Egypt is considered one of the promising industries that has opportunities for growth, stressing the importance of attracting local and foreign investments to work in this field in order to provide the needs of the local market, reduce the import bill, and achieve a link between Agriculture and industry.
