OPEN// PM witnesses signing of $123 mln agreement to manufacture Jetour vehicles in Egypt
CAIRO, May 20 (MENA) - Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly attended Tuesday the official signing ceremony of an industrial agreement between the global automotive company Jetour and the Egyptian-based El-Kasrawy Group, aiming to manufacture and assemble Jetour T1 and T2 vehicle models in Egypt. The $123 million investment project deal was signed between the Chinese company and El-Kasrawy Automotive Group at the government headquarters in the New Administrative Capital and the ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel el-Wazir. Madbouly said that the agreement represents a significant addition to Egypt's ongoing efforts to localize the automotive industry. He noted that it will lead to the domestic production and assembly of two new models from an international carmaker, reinforcing Egypt's position as a growing hub for automotive manufacturing. The premier added that this step follows a series of similar agreements signed in recent months, reflecting the success of Egypt's national strategy to develop its automotive sector. He highlighted that this strategy is supported by a range of incentives aimed at attracting global car manufacturers to invest in the Egyptian market. Board Chairman of El-Kasrawy Automotive Group Mohamed El-Kasrawy emphasized that the agreement builds upon the existing partnership with Jetour. The two sides agreed to manufacture and assemble the Jetour T1 and T2 models, and to strengthen cooperation in exporting Jetour vehicles from Egypt to various international markets. As part of the agreement, a new factory will be established in the 6th of October City industrial zone, covering an area of 86,000 square meters. The facility will feature three production lines for welding, painting, and final assembly. With an investment of $123 million, the plant is expected to supply the domestic market and allocate a portion of its output for export. It is also set to create approximately 1,500 job opportunities. In conjunction with the signing, the locally assembled Jetour X70 Plus was officially launched, with an expected annual production volume of 5,000 units. Prime Minister Madbouly viewed a prototype of the vehicle prior to the signing ceremony. (MENA) R E E/

Libyan Designer Nesrein Jelani Debuts Luxurious Ramadan Collection
Pasant Elzaitony - Yara Sameh The holy month of Ramadan is one of the months in which there are many gatherings and outings, and women search for the perfect modest, elegant, and classy outfits. Therefore, fashion designers aim to present a special collection for the holy month. The Libyan Egyptian-based designer Nesrein Jelani is one of the designers interested in presenting a Ramadan collection. Jelani, who has been residing in Egypt for years, debuted her latest Ramadan collection under the title "Revella" and came modern, sophisticated, and elegant. A simple, different, more modern collection that mixes the European touch and the Arab spirit, combines soft and bold colors and gives women positive energy by highlighting their beauty and delicacy in elegant, modest, and classic outfits. Talking about her inspiration for the collection, Jilani noted: "The name Revella is a woman's name meaning the wild olive tree, which reminds me of the land and the ancient history connected to peace and the deep-rooted Arabism,". "I have described it with glimpses that I see as modern and Arab, blending the ancient history of the East with the modernity of the West," she added. As for the name behind the collection, Jilani explained: "Revella is a woman who shakes off her pain and suffering, determined on moving forward, set on reaching psychological peace, donning on a soft, simple, elegant and modest appearance, carrying an aura majestic, confident, bold, and extravagant, but rich with a simple look that is harmonious with the cuts of the design and harmonious with a contemporary Arab Ramadan look that I intended to demonstrate its simplicity even in the style of hair, makeup, and accessories in the photo shoot and designs that can be worn on occasions outside the Ramadan season as well,". The designer relied on muslin, satin, silk, and tulle fabrics and presented soft details in hand embroidery with crystal, agate, and feathers with the utmost softness. By Nesrein Jelani Regarding the reason for mixing fabrics, Jelani noted: "I send a message in the red design mixed with light gray. I see her shaking off all the pain and seeing the whiteness, peace, and freedom embodied through the sleeve of the colored- feather dress with the wing cut. She obtains her peace by intertwining the red and light gray colors (the price is expensive, and the meaning is beautiful but expensive and tiring). By Nesrein Jelani Some of the cuts highlighted the shape of the wing in the sleeves, shoulder, and back. Sometimes there is fluidity and sometimes there are sharp-cut details. The colors chosen for the collection explain the meaning (strength, boldness, peace, and calm; softness, pride, loftiness, and wealth). This is how Revella imagined it.
