Egypt's military production minister has discussed with South Korea's ambassador to Cairo means to boost cooperation and create more industrial partnerships between the ministry’s companies and South Korean firms, according to a statement by the military production ministry on Monday.

inister Mohamed Ahmed Morsy and Ambassador Hong Jin-Wook discussed utilising Korean technologies to manufacture high quality surveillance cameras in Egypt at competitive prices.

This step aims to turn Egypt into an exporter of these products to other Arab and African countries, while taking advantage of the current laws encouraging investments in Egypt, as well as trade deals between Egypt and other nations.

The meeting also discussed cooperation already existing between both countries in the military and other fields, including establishing and managing waste recycling plants.
