President Abdel Fattah El Sisi highlighted on Saturday the key role played by the Arab Organization for Industrialization - which is a national economic institution - in the development process.
Addressing a meeting with the organization's chairman Abdel-Aziz Seif, Sisi called for more efforts to upgrade the organization.
He also urged promoting cooperation between the organization and foreign countries, including African ones, in the coming period to increase Egypt's civil and military exports.
Seif reviewed during the meeting a report on his recent African tour, which included Nigeria, Cameroon and Ivory Coast.
He said officials in the three countries showed great interest in purchasing products of the organization, opening new cooperation vistas and exchanging expertise in several fields.
The report reviewed the organization's civil and military products, said the presidential spokesman Alaa Yousef.
Seif said the organization is participating in several civil projects, including ones in infrastructure domain, added the spokesman.
