In view of the present regional and international economic issues, Madbouly said that the alliance will aid in attaining sustainable economic development.

Gamea went over the details of the second meeting's agenda for the Higher Committee for the Integrated Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development among the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan.

According to Sultan Al Jaber, UAE's Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, a $10 billion investment portfolio has been approved and is being managed by Abu Dhabi's holding firm, ADQ, to allow faster work on the alliance across five priority sectors.

The alliance identified five industries of common interest to the three nations, including petrochemicals, textiles, medicines, agriculture, food, and fertilizers, as well as metals, minerals, and downstream goods.
