Shortly after the Palestinian delegation's return from Egypt, Palestinian Minister of Agriculture Riyad Attari received a call from his Egyptian counterpart Izzedine Abu Stet. According to Palestinian government spokesman Ibrahim Milhem, the Egyptian official thanked his Palestinian counterpart for a successful visit and expressed his willingness to accelerate the importation of Palestinian dates to Egypt.
Milhem, who participated in the visit, told Al-Monitor that the three-day meetings that included 11 cabinet ministers were “warm and highly successful.”
