CAIRO (Reuters) -Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Thursday discussed activating a $7.5 billion “partnership package” with his Qatari counterpart, Egypt’s cabinet said in a statement.
Egypt and Qatar had agreed in April to work towards a package of direct Qatari investments as Cairo pushes to secure funding from Gulf neighbours to tackle heavy foreign debts and a gaping budget deficit.
