Vietnamese, Egyptian businesses eye links

Officials of the Sai Gon New Port Corporation (SNP), the country's largest container terminal services provider, met representatives from leading Egyptian businesses in logistics and freight forwarding in Cairo, on Sunday.

The event was part of the SNP delegation's tour to Europe, Africa and the Middle East to seek co-operation opportunities in these fields.

Speaking at the Cairo meeting, Vietnamese Charge d'Affaires in Egypt, Nguyen Hong Son, said that Viet Nam and Egypt have great potential in developing logistics and freight forwarding as they are both located at important geo-economic positions in their respective regions.

Representatives of over 20 enterprises of the Egyptian International Freight Forwarding Association said they were interested in business ties with the SNP to provide package services for the export-import enterprises of the two countries.

Several representatives stated that they would soon visit Viet Nam to learn about the corporation's infrastructure and services.
