The UAE's Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development (AAAID) has chosen Egypt to organize the largest regional conference on agricultural industrialization.

The event will be attended by 22 Arab and regional countries, AAAID Director Shaalan al Mashikhi said after a meeting with Agriculture Minister Saleh Helal on Thursday.

They discussed ways of boosting cooperation between the two states in the agricultural field and activating the deals, which were inked in the Egypt Economic Development Conference in March in Sharm el Sheikh.
