Engineer Mohamed Shimi, Minister of Public Business Sector, received Dr. Osama Al-Azhari, Minister of Endowments (Awqaf), and his accompanying delegation at the Ministry's headquarters in the New Administrative Capital.

The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation to optimize the utilization of state-owned assets, ensuring maximum economic and developmental returns in alignment with Egypt’s Vision 2030.

A primary focus of the discussions was the revitalization of assets with significant historical and investment value. Both ministries are exploring sustainable economic frameworks to leverage these properties, particularly to bolster the tourism and hospitality sectors, while strictly preserving their cultural and architectural heritage.

Minister Shimi praised the ongoing constructive coordination between the two ministries, emphasizing a shared commitment to expanding cooperation in the national interest.

"The Public Business Sector companies possess vast manufacturing, production, and service capabilities, alongside accumulated expertise that qualifies them to execute joint projects with high efficiency," stated Minister Shimi. He further affirmed the Ministry’s readiness to provide comprehensive technical and administrative support, including the development of sophisticated investment models to ensure the success of these joint ventures.

Dr. Osama Al-Azhari, Minister of Endowments, expressed his appreciation for the sincere cooperation aimed at achieving a qualitative leap in joint operations. He highlighted the importance of investing in the Endowment Authority’s historical assets in a way that safeguards their cultural and human value while generating sustainable economic revenue to support the Ministry’s social and religious mission.

The meeting concluded with an agreement to maintain continuous coordination. Both parties committed to establishing clear executive mechanisms, setting specific timelines to translate these discussions into tangible projects, and ensuring the optimal exploitation of state assets to benefit the national economy and society at large.
