Transport Minister Galal Saeed and International Cooperation Minister Sahar Nasr attended the experimental operation of Arqin land crossing linking Egypt and Sudan on Thursday.
The opening of the crossing is an important event for Egypt, Sudan and the entire continent as Arqin is the starting point for the Alexandria-Cape Town Corridor project, Saeed said.
The corridor will connect Africa from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean and will serve the trade movement in 15 African countries located on the corridor line, he said.
Egypt’s General Authority for Land and Dry Ports built Western Nile Arqin Crossing with investments of EGP 93 million on an area of 130,000 with a capacity of 7,500 passengers daily and more than 300 trucks and buses, he added.
