Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli stressed the State’s keenness on exerting all efforts to stimulate the various industrial sectors with the view to localizing industries, particularly in developing specialized technological industries, as well as promoting small and medium industries and increasing their competitiveness, explaining that “Today, we are in a city where the leather industry in Egypt is based, this city is a milestone in this important industry.”

This came during Madbouli’s visit to the first ready-built factories in Rubiki Leather City (Tanneries).

The minister was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Transport Minister Kamel El-Wazir, Chairman of the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) Nahed Yousef, Chairman of the Cairo Investment and Development Company Mahmoud Mahrez, and Minister Plenipotentiary Yahia El-Wathiq Billah, in addition to a number of parliamentarians and commercial attaches for China, Italy, India, Turkey, Portugal, Spain, and Germany, and a group of industry experts and major local and foreign leather manufacturers and exporters.

Madbouli said the Egyptian state believed that industrial sector will lead the locomotive of economic development during the current stage, adding that the government has developed the infrastructure to serve this important sector and other sectors.

The government also provides facilities of various types, annexing lands, developing means of transportation, and amending legislations that enable all investors to develop their business, Madbouli added.

The prime minister attended the opening ceremony of the third phase of the eco-industrial Rubiki leather cluster in Badr City that groups 43 fully-equipped factories tailored for leather product manufacturing.
