Cairo is due to host an international free zone conference, as announced at the WAIPA executive meeting in Geneva at the end of January. The conference, planned for April 26-27, will be co-hosted by World Free Zone Convention (WFZC) and the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI).

The proceedings will be in three languages: English, French and Arabic.

Speaking in Geneva, WFZC chairman Graham Mather said that, with the accession of eastern Mediterranean territories (Cyprus and Malta) to the EU in mid-2004, Egypt will play an important role in the expansion of EU trade to the south east. During the Cairo conference, Mr Mather will report on the recent discussions with negotiators from the WTO and the EU on the future for free zones. He said that the conference would be inaugurated by Dr Etef Abeid, the prime minister of Egypt.
