The two presidents witnessed the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MoUs) on cooperation in economy, maritime transport, health, agri-research, micro, small and medium enterprises and start-up development, capacity building and social protection, an official release from the Singaporean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Egypt was the first Arab country to recognise Singapore’s independence in 1965. Tharman invited Al Sisi to visit Singapore next year to commemorate the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic relations.
Tharman also met Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, who updated him on economic developmental plans and investment opportunities for Singaporean companies.
The two leaders agreed that there was scope to step up bilateral economic cooperation and for both sides to work closely together to drive innovation in port, airport and water management, the release added.
