“We agreed to send our people to see the historical sites in Grenada affected by Hurricane Ivan,” Assistant Foreign Minister of Egypt Ambassador Ezzat Saad said following a meeting with Grenada’s and Foreign Affairs Minister Peter David yesterday.
“We are ready to restore them and we will be waiting just for the timing when we will dispatch our people.’’
The promise of help for Grenada in the areas of tourism, education, pharmaceuticals and agriculture were also discussed during the meeting.
David noted that the talks were in keeping with the search by Grenada to secure economic and financial aid from non-traditional bilateral sources, such as countries in Africa and the Middle East.
He said the meeting with the two-member Egyptian delegation discussed private sector to private sector cooperation.
“The Middle East private sector has indicated their interest in investing in Grenada,” the Foreign Minister said. “Grenada is an investment-friendly country and a country that requires an infusion of some investment. Hopefully, the discussion will help us in that regard.’’
Grenada and the Arab Republic of Egypt established diplomatic relations on September 14th, 1976.
