Minister of Social Solidarity Maya Morsy discussed on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, with Azerbaijani Ambassador in Cairo Elkhan Polukhov ways of strengthening bilateral cooperation in a number of areas, particularly exhibitions and marketing, as well as supporting traditional and handicraft products.
The meeting addressed opportunities for cooperation in organizing exhibitions and events that promote Egyptian and Azerbaijani products and open new marketing avenues for artisans, productive families and small-business owners.
