The cornerstone of this initiative was laid in Suez, marking the establishment of Egypt's first strategic warehouse for essential supplies and duty-free goods.

Ashmawy emphasized the government's partnership with the private sector, showcasing the state's commitment to fostering investment opportunities and driving commerce beyond wholesale markets and commercial centers.

These initiatives aim to optimize the flow of goods, promote economic growth, and attract local and foreign investments.
