Egypt to build meat processing plant in Tanzania

Egypt will build a meat processing plant in Tanzania, President John Magufulisaid following his meeting with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, without disclosing additional details, according to Xinhua. Egypt is also interested in investing in education, health, security, water, and agriculture in Tanzania. Both countries agreed to cooperate in promoting tourism through their respective national airlines. President Magufuli said the talks on the use of the Nile River waters should equally benefit all 10 member states of the Nile Basin countries, including Egypt. Tanzania had signed the Cooperation Framework Agreement of the Nile Basin Initiative, which Egypt and Sudan have refused to sign.

…President El Sisi arrived in Rwanda on Tuesday — the second leg of his Africa tour which will also include Gabon and Chad, Ahram Online reports. El Sisi met with Rwandan President Paul Kagame to discuss ways to boost cooperation between both countries in various fields, including trade, infrastructure development, energy, agriculture, ICT, and tourism, according to an Ittihadiya statement picked up by Youm7. The two leaders, who also held a joint press conference, discussed counterterrorism efforts and Kagame’s reform plans for the African Union. El Sisi extended Kagame a formal invitation to the Africa 2017 forum in Sharm El Sheikh in December.
