Yousry El-Sharqawi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Egyptian-African Businessmen Association, said that Tunisia is a strategic platform to move towards the African and European market.
He pointed out in a media statement today, Tuesday, accompanied by “Al-Sabah News” that attracting more than 3,000 participants from 70 countries in the ninth session of the International Conference on Financing Investment and Trade in Africa “FITA2026” confirms Tunisia’s ability to organize well and achieve rapprochement between African countries and the rest of the countries.
Al-Sharqawi added that Africa has been turned away, but the time has come to discuss investment opportunities in the continent, especially with the presence of financial backers.
He touched on the existence of challenges that, in this context, must be overcome, including movement, travel, visas, and logistical aspects between a number of African countries.
Al-Sharqawi also stressed that the transformations in the African continent include a space for partnership and joint production.
African depth
On the other hand, Al-Sharqawi confirmed in a statement to “Al-Sabah News” that Egypt and Tunisia can move in a joint manner to reach the depths of Africa, pointing out the existence of one market, including Senegal, Benin, Ainia and Côte d’Ivoire…
“Golden Billion”
He said that the volume of trade exchange between Tunisia and Egypt amounted to about 434 million dollars, including only 50 million dinars from the Tunisian side, which requires developing this number… expressing his hope that the volume of trade exchange between the two countries will reach 500 million dollars in the near term, and to reach what he described as the “golden billion.”
Yousry Al-Sharqawi also called for building real industrial partnerships between Tunisia and Egypt, including the transfer of technology and expertise and the development of joint value chains, calling for investing in the strengths of each party.
He concluded by announcing a plan to organize an international exhibition in Sfax, which will be a platform linking African products to global markets, in which Egypt will be a major partner, within the framework of redrawing the map of trade fairs starting from the north of the African continent.
