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 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 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 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

Egypt to run special train for Sudanese voluntarily returning home - Foreign Affairs
Egypt's national railway announced on Monday that it will operate a designated train to facilitate the voluntary return of Sudanese nationals and their families to their homeland. The move comes 'within the … cooperation and close fraternal relations' between Egypt and Sudan, the Egyptian National Railways Authority said in a statement on Sunday. Train number 1940, a third-class air-conditioned service, will depart Cairo at 11:00 AM on Monday and arrive in Aswan at 11:00 PM. From Aswan, the Sudanese will continue their journey to Sudan via the High Dam Port, a Nile access to the neighbouring nation. Egyptian Minister of Transport Kamel El-Wazir has instructed railway officials to provide all necessary services to ensure the comfort and safe arrival of the Sudanese passengers, the statement added. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has reported a rise in voluntary returns of displaced Sudanese from neighbouring countries since January 2025, citing an improved security situation in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. Egypt, a haven for refugees fleeing conflicts besetting various neighbouring nations in recent years, currently accommodates the largest share of Sudanese who have fled their country since the outbreak of intense conflict. Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating conflict that erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This nearly two-year war has plunged the nation into what the United Nations describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The UN estimates that approximately 13 million people have been displaced either internally or externally, with over 3.5 million seeking refuge in neighbouring countries, including Egypt, Chad, and South Sudan. The recent influx of Sudanese refugees has significantly augmented the existing Sudanese population in Egypt. Government officials recently estimated the total number of Sudanese residing in the country at 5.5 million. According to a recent statement from Egypt's Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS), the country hosts an estimated nine million refugees in total, including four million from Sudan. In recent months, this influx has ignited a public debate within Egypt regarding the unprecedented pressure it places on the nation's public services and infrastructure.

Egypt's PM Meets German Minister to Discuss Development Cooperation
H-Tayea Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly held a meeting on Sunday with Reem Alabali-Radovan, the newly appointed Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany. The meeting took place in New Alamein City and was attended by Minister of Planning and Economic Development Dr. Rania Al-Mashat and Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdel Aaty. At the outset of the meeting, Prime Minister Madbouly extended his warm welcome to the German minister and congratulated her on her new position, also offering best wishes for the success of the new German government. He noted that her visit to Egypt — particularly to New Alamein — reflects the strength and depth of Egyptian-German relations. He also highlighted the many areas in which the two nations have been cooperating, both bilaterally and in addressing broader Middle East issues. Madbouly emphasized that the longstanding partnership between Egypt and Germany is built on mutual interests and shared commitments to advancing sustainable development goals. He noted that Germany's development cooperation programs in Egypt focus on several vital areas, including the expansion of renewable energy, improved energy efficiency, technical and vocational education, water resource management, and private sector development. The Prime Minister also pointed out that Egypt and Germany have recently taken tangible steps to broaden their cooperation, through economic and development agreements, debt swap programs, and joint initiatives aimed at supporting national priorities. He reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to deepening this strategic relationship and expanding the scope of cooperation across all sectors. Madbouly expressed his hope that Germany would continue to play a supportive role in enhancing Egypt's ties with the European Union, and that the two countries would jointly pursue initiatives that benefit not only both peoples, but also the wider region. 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 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 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
