Industrial Integration: Egypt and Libya chambers signed a protocol to launch an annual Egyptian-Libyan industrial integration exhibition in Benghazi, tentatively set for April 2027. Mining & Capacity: Egypt’s industry minister inspected Sinai Manganese’s alloy plant, targeting 50,000 tonnes annual capacity by end-2028 and expanding value-added and export projects.
