00:00Let this visit of our great friend be more meaningful in terms of cementing that collaboration.
00:10So both our foreign ministers have agreed to have joint commission meeting first quarter next year
00:17and following that to focus on trade and investments on transportation flight regularity
00:30because whilst we have achieved this phenomenal increase this year rising into 74.7% of trade
00:43but then it is from a very, very low base.
00:47You are doing well under your leadership as a president.
00:50The economy, first unity economy of Egypt
00:55and Egypt was a very important country in the Arab world and in Africa.
01:03Therefore the collaboration with Egypt will give Malaysia an immense role
01:10and opportunity to expand our trade and general investments, tourism in all fields.
01:23We have set up an Arabic center here thanks to you
01:28and Sheikh Al-Azhar who was here who then initiated that.
01:34And I said to the president that you have done remarkably well in the past and present
01:40by giving the support to Sheikh Ali Jum'ah, the Mufti of Egypt who has been a renowned scholar and
01:51respected by too many people here
01:53and recently the minister of the minister of Islamiyah, the minister of Islamiyah, the minister of Islamiyah.
02:03So inshallah we will continue to do that with the Islamic Affairs Department and the minister here to increase.
02:12But I think beyond that, areas like semiconductor, ENE, agriculture, pharmaceutical,
02:19because we have been trying to solicit pharmaceutical products from countries, emerging economies in BRICS countries
02:33and I think Egypt has that potential to be one destination that we solicit the pharmacy from there.
02:43Other than that, education of course is in the field.
02:48And I've said to the president, there is not only Al-Azhar which is still important in terms of Islamic
02:54education,
02:55but then we have expanded in terms of ENE, digital technology, in AI and also in engineering and medicine.
03:06Many, many of our doctors were trained in Egypt.
03:11So I don't want to get the impression that Islamic studies is important, Islam is very important,
03:16because the approach is moderate, the wasatiyah sort of trend,
03:23but education should cover other fields of study.
03:28So again, our defense ministers are also here,
03:32but I think we should collaborate more on defense requirement and also joint training in collaboration.
03:41Thank you, Your Excellency.
03:47Thank you, Your Excellency.
