International Cooperation Minister Sahar Nasr received on Thursday New Valley Governor Mahmoud el Ashmawy to discuss development projects.

The ministry is keen on supporting all development projects in New Valley, Nasr said.

The governor praised the ministry's efforts to provide job opportunities for the youth in New Valley governorate, giving an example of the livestock development project funded by the Saudi Fund for Development.

Work is underway to automate nine slaughterhouses and establish an animal farm on an area of 32 feddans in el Dakhla Oasis, the governor noted.
