Personal Profile
I've been a government official since 2012, working as a Senior Economist and Trade Specialist in cooperation with Asian countries. I was fortunate to work on the Egypt-India cooperation file, and I had a good chance to choose by the government to travel to India for a month and a half in 2014 for government training. Actually, it was a fantastic opportunity to learn about India from the inside out, plus I gained a great understanding and experience as a result of this training. Also I had a master degree from Seoul National University in south Korea with the title of “National development Policy for African Countries” and my thesis was about the development cooperation with Africa. Takin into consideration the prospective of the population of India and Africa, we can say that their populations are nearly same, as evidenced by the fact that the bilateral trade volume between them exceeded 55 billion dollars last year showing the great ties between both of them. I'm honored to apply to this important event “The CII- EXIM Bank Conclave on India-Africa Project Partnership" and looking forward the participate, and I'm positively sure that I can add to this event and also learn from it a lot. Thank you so much and see you soon in New Delhi
