Likewise, the cooperation will be focused on the development of tourism, the growth of investment opportunities in both cities, the encouragement of ecotourism and sustainable use of natural resources, as well as the exchange of information and skills in agriculture.

- This is a magnificent day for Novi Sad. The signing of the Agreement is much more than a protocol, because this is not just a new friend city, it is one of the most famous cities in the world. When you say that Alexandria is your twin city, it opens many doors. The Agreement is a confirmation of the decades-long excellent relations between our two countries, and it is very important for us to have the best possible cooperation with the countries of the African continent and the Arab countries. I am glad that the delegation of Alexandria also includes representatives of their Chamber of Commerce, and we will try to bring the relations regulated by the Agreement to life in full capacity. I am also expressing my gratitude to the Ambassador of Egypt, H.E. Amr Aljowaily, our friend who helped a lot to sign the Agreement on Cooperation with Alexandria - Mayor Vučević pointed out.

The Governor of Alexandria, Mohamed El-Sherif, thanked for the hospitality and expressed His satisfaction with the visit to Serbia and Novi Sad.

- The delegation of our city is at a high level, the President of the Chamber of Commerce Ahmed Vakil is with us and I hope that our businessmen will achieve business cooperation with businessmen from Serbia. We are proud of the Agreement we have signed, especially since this act opens space for new agreements. Due to the political leadership of Serbia and Egypt, there is already good cooperation in many fields, and our goal is for economic cooperation to be at the level of realized political cooperation between our countries - Mohamed El-Sherif emphasized.
