Japan-Egypt Investment Forum highlights business opportunities in Egypt
The meeting was attended by State Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Yuichiro Koga, with a keynote speech by Egyptian Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly.
Opening and closing remarks were made by Ibrahim El-Araby, Chairman of the Egypt-Japan Business Council, and his counterpart on the Japan-Egypt Business Council Jun Karube.
Egypt presented itself as a resilient, climate-smart gateway for Japanese corporations to expand their presence in the agribusiness sector, with fertile land, year-round production, and growing agro-industrial zones.
It was noted that Egypt is a regional leader in citrus, vegetables, and livestock, and offers direct logistics routes to Gulf, African and European markets.
In terms of clean energy, Egypt has world-class solar and wind zones, and one of the most ambitious green hydrogen agendas in the Global South. Future cooperation with Japanese companies is envisaged in areas such as green hydrogen, ammonia, and advanced energy storage infrastructure.
The Forum highlighted Egypt's favorable business environment and strategic location at the convergence of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as Egypt's industrial zones and manufacturing hubs.

Russia launches missiles in Sea of Japan
Russia's Pacific Fleet launched cruise and anti-ship missiles during drills in the Sea of Japan that also involved aircraft and drones, the Russian defense ministry said on Thursday. 'Kalibr and Uran missiles were fired by the Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate in the Sea of Japan, and the sailors successfully hit their target,' the ministry said. 'The maneuver was carried out by ships and vessels of the Pacific Fleet, as well as the fleet's naval aviation aircraft and drones,' it said. The defense ministry released footage of the frigate launching the missiles. Reuters reported earlier this month that there is growing willingness in Japan to loosen its decades-old pledge not to produce, possess or host nuclear weapons in its territory – what is known as the 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles.'
