The signing took place during the third day of the World Urban Forum, underscoring a mutual commitment to fostering deeper collaboration in urban development.
Minister El-Sherbiny emphasized that this MoU is a practical step towards expanding cooperation between Egypt and Zambia, in line with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s directive to strengthen Egypt’s ties with African nations.
