Egypt to Host New Turkish Porcelain Factory in Alexandria

Egypt to Host New Turkish Porcelain Factory in Alexandria

H-Tayea
The Turkish company Kar's Bonna Porcelain has announced a major investment in Egypt, with plans to establish a 100 million US dollar production facility in the Burg Al Arab area of Alexandria. The company is moving swiftly to begin operations as soon as possible.
Bonna, one of the most prominent names in Turkey's porcelain manufacturing sector, brings with it a reputation for excellence in design, quality, and industrial scale. This investment marks a significant step forward in strengthening Egypt's position in the global ceramics and porcelain market. Once operational, the facility is expected to become a key player in both regional and international porcelain supply chains.
According to the company's strategic plan, 90 percent of the plant's production will be dedicated to export markets, while the remaining 10 percent will be directed toward the domestic Egyptian market. This export-driven model aligns well with Egypt's broader economic goals to increase industrial output and boost foreign currency inflows through manufacturing.
I am confident that Egyptian authorities will provide Bonna with the support and facilitation needed to bring this project to life. Egypt has continued to position itself as a destination for international investors looking for industrial strength, export connectivity, and market access across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
During a recent conversation with Erbil Aşkan, General Manager of Bonna Porcelain, I was briefed on the progress being made at the site. The discussions reflected the company's serious commitment to delivering a high-quality, high-capacity production facility in record time. I also had the opportunity to share thoughts on how this investment could contribute to broader goals, including job creation, technology transfer, and strengthening economic ties between Egypt and Turkey

In a landmark achievement, BurjX becomes a fully regulated digital asset brokerage platform to offer and support trading of over 100 digital assets, setting a new standard for market access, regulatory depth, and product breadth in the region. The UAE's cryptocurrency market is projected to generate US$395.9 million in revenue in 2025, with the user base expected to reach 3.88 million by 2026 . With nearly one-third of the population set to own crypto within the next year, the UAE ranks among the highest adoption rates globally. BurjX is setting the benchmark for what a regulated, homegrown platform can be. A Mission Born in the UAE, Led by Its Founders 'We came to the UAE to build something that reflects the future of this region: regulated, trusted, and globally competitive,' said Omar Abbas, Co-Founder and CEO of BurjX, who previously co-founded NDAX, Canada's leading crypto exchange. 'Securing our FSRA license and launching with 100+ assets is proof of what's possible when you build with conviction from the ground up. We're not another imported platform entering the UAE. We're a homegrown one, built here to lead globally.'

'This launch validates the strength of our infrastructure, the caliber of our team, and our ambition to position BurjX as a global player from day one.' As part of its governance framework, BurjX has appointed Dr. Ryan Lemand to its Board. A former Binance board member and ex-Head of Risk at UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), he brings deep expertise in regulation, digital assets, and institutional finance. Trade 100+ Tokens with Instant AED On-Ramps Powered by Zand: BurjX makes it easy to go from dirhams to digital assets in seconds. Integrated with UAE banking rails through Zand Bank, users can instantly fund their accounts in AED and trade over 100 tokens within seconds, all under the oversight of ADGM's world-leading virtual asset framework. As one of the region's first true fiat-to-crypto bridges, BurjX offers frictionless access to digital markets that is secure, seamless, and proudly UAE native. Regulated, Institutional-Grade Custody: As one of the few platforms in the region licensed for both brokerage and custody, BurjX combines the strength of ADGM's virtual asset regime with the speed of institutional-grade infrastructure. Built on NASDAQ-grade systems that process over 1 million transactions per second and secured by Fireblocks' MPC wallet technology, BurjX offers fast execution, deep liquidity, and secure custody on a single, unified platform. From first-time traders to institutions, every transaction is backed by multi-layer governance, comprehensive insurance across hot and cold wallets, and robust regulatory oversight.

Designed for sophisticated investors, it empowers them to build high-conviction, diversified portfolios with clarity, control, and confidence. What's Next for BurjX: With its launch now official, BurjX is entering a new phase of growth; focused on scaling across the UAE and the broader MENA region, while doubling down on its core pillars: security, simplicity, and regulatory strength. With rising adoption from retail users, growing demand from private wealth clients, and deep liquidity across 100+ assets, BurjX is positioned to be the Middle East's homegrown on-ramp to the global crypto economy. About BurjX: BurjX is a UAE-born digital asset brokerage and custodian, fully licensed by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi.

Egypt's FM seeks deeper economic, security ties on five-nation West Africa tour

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty began a five-nation tour of West Africa on Monday, leading a high-level business delegation in a push to bolster economic ties and deepen security cooperation across a region facing significant challenges. The tour, which will also include stops in Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and Senegal, kicked off in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, where Abdel-Aty held a series of meetings with top Nigerian officials and the regional ECOWAS bloc, the Egyptian foreign ministry said in a statement. Abdelatty is accompanied by a delegation of 30 heads and representatives of major Egyptian companies, signaling a strong focus on leveraging trade and investment to reinforce diplomatic partnerships. During bilateral talks with his Nigerian counterpart, Yusuf Tuggar, Abdel-Aty stressed the growing momentum in relations, particularly since the first-ever ministerial-level political consultation was held in Cairo in January 2025. The two ministers discussed enhancing cooperation in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, energy, mining, construction, and information technology. Abdel-Aty said the business forum held during the visit was an ideal platform to deepen private sector partnerships and explore joint investment opportunities. In a significant diplomatic development during the forum, Nigeria's Foreign Minister Tuggar officially announced his country's support for the Egyptian candidate for UNESCO Director-General, Khaled El-Enany, ahead of elections in October. The Egyptian candidate, who was present at the meetings, also attended the bilateral talks where Abdel-Aty thanked Nigeria for its support of the candidacy within the African Union. In a separate meeting in Abuja, Abdelatty met with Abdel-Fatau Musah, the Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace, and Security at the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The Egyptian foreign minister offered to expand cooperation with the regional bloc to combat rising terrorism and extremism in the Sahel and West Africa. He said Egypt was ready to share its expertise through training and technical support for the regional counter-terrorism force. 'Egypt will not hesitate to provide all necessary support and assistance to the countries of the region in their efforts to combat terrorism and extremist thought,' Abdelatty said, highlighting the role of Egyptian institutions like the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution and Al-Azhar in promoting moderation. The discussions also covered Egypt's ongoing capacity-building support for Nigeria through the Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development (EAPD). The agency has so far trained 571 Nigerian personnel in 260 courses across various fields, a number Abdel-Aty said reflects Egypt's commitment to aligning its support with Nigeria's priorities. For his part, the Nigerian minister praised Egypt's active role on the African continent, particularly in reconstruction, sustainable development, and counter-terrorism. He expressed Nigeria's interest in benefiting from Egyptian expertise in infrastructure, technical education, healthcare, and modern agriculture. Before starting his West Africa tour, Abdelatty made a stop in N'Djamena on Monday, where he met with Chadian Foreign Minister Abdallah Saber Fadoul. During that meeting, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's support for development projects in Chad, particularly in infrastructure, energy, and health. He highlighted that a land road project to link the two countries and boost trade was a high priority.

China Begins Construction on World's Largest Hydropower Dam

Israa Farhan China has officially begun construction on what is set to become the world's largest hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, located on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Premier Li Qiang announced a high-profile ceremony on Saturday, as reported by Chinese state media. The multi-billion-dollar project, estimated at $170 billion, will feature five cascading hydropower stations capable of generating 300 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually. This output is comparable to the total electricity consumed by the UK in a single year. China has positioned the project as part of its efforts to expand renewable energy, lower carbon emissions, and stimulate economic growth in Tibet. Electricity generated by the dam will be distributed to other regions while also meeting the energy needs of local Tibetan communities, according to official statements. The Yarlung Tsangpo, a 2,900-kilometre river that originates in the Himalayas, descends dramatically through what is considered the world's deepest land-based canyon. As it flows into India and Bangladesh, the river becomes the Brahmaputra, a crucial water source for millions of people across the two countries. The project has sparked serious concerns among Indian and Bangladeshi authorities, as well as environmental NGOs. Critics argue the dam could pose severe risks to the region's ecological balance and the livelihoods of those dependent on the river downstream. India's Foreign Ministry has publicly voiced its apprehension, stating it will monitor developments closely and take necessary steps to safeguard national interests. New Delhi has also urged Beijing to ensure that downstream nations are not adversely affected by upstream activities. Environmental organizations have warned of the irreversible damage that could be caused to the fragile Tibetan Plateau, which is already under pressure from climate change. NGOs have also raised concerns about the lack of transparency regarding how many communities may be displaced due to the project. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
