Egypt-UK trade agreement takes effect 31 December: UK trade envoy
The Egypt-UK trade agreement will come into effect on 31 December to be the framework organising bilateral trade ties after Brexit.
The deal is based on the EU-Egypt Association Agreement, UK Trade Envoy to Egypt Sir Jeffery Donaldson said.
The UK regards Egypt as the gateway to Africa and a crucial market for the kingdom, which is why the UK has a strong trade team based in Cairo, Donaldson told Ahram Online during a virtual panel held on Thursday as part of Egypt's Week in the UK, an online event that kicked off on Monday.
He added that Egypt is a growing market and the UK is seeing its great opportunities, stressing that Egypt is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world.
