Egypt and Mexico have exchanged diplomatic representation since 1957, and Mexico has investments in Egypt estimated at more than one billion and 200 million dollars. The Mayan civilization in Mexico and the Pharaonic civilization in Egypt are similar. Egyptian and Mexican companies with common interests continued to continue their activities. We find that Polymeros Mihikanos has opened its first factory in Alexandria, while CEMEX is participating in many infrastructure projects, reducing carbon dioxide emissions in its factories, and finding new markets for its environmentally friendly products.
On the other hand, the Picoa Chiron company in Mexico has been able to consolidate a fruitful alliance, between the public and private sectors, with the Petroferos Mijicanos company, for the joint and optimal exploitation of the oil fields. In parallel, we find companies such as Rohrbomen and KidZania that represent successful models for joint investment, and we also find other companies such as El Sewedy Electrometer and Aqualia striving to develop and develop trade relations between Egypt and Mexico. Cooperation in international relations represents a special field for rapprochement and continuous communication between the two countries.

Egyptian and Mexican diplomacy are often able to conclude agreements in the field of membership nominations of many international organizations and bodies of particular importance to both countries.

Mexico is proud of its indigenous roots, and its ability to wisely incorporate the contributions of the rich Spanish culture, and through it, that of the Arab community, into our national spirit. clear on it. From the Yukon in Canada to the Tierra del Fogo (Land of Fire) archipelago in Argentina, it is easy to admire the developed societies of the Americas, where cultural heritage from the continents of Europe and Africa blends with their cultural origins.

Multiple civilizations have followed on the land of Egypt. And that Egypt is a clear example of integration and inclusion. Egypt is the country that enriched its pharaonic heritage with continuous contributions from the empires that passed over Her land is where she formed the personality that characterizes Egyptians now: an advanced and individual personality in many ways, but at the same time open and receptive to the globalized world.
During the next period, intensive group activities are expected to be held through presentations in Cairo and Alexandria, 2 photo exhibitions and paintings on major cities, in addition to a competition in literary translation, which clearly show the pioneering role that culture represents in the relations between Egypt and Mexico. .
The channels and opportunities for cooperation using creative means have multiplied, as is evident, for example, in the establishment of virtual academic forums on topics of common interest, such as literary dialogues via the Internet between Mexican and Latin American writers, with the Egyptian public, and this has enabled Activities Communication and rapprochement between bodies that were cooperating before (as is the case between the National University of Mexico and the American University in Cairo). It has succeeded in drawing the attention of thousands of Internet surfers not only in Egypt and Mexico but also in the Arab world and Latin America as well, therefore, in the use of technology And modern methods of communication, but above all, in light of the common desire for cooperation, both countries have worked to encourage, strengthen and build bridges between new cooperation partners, and they were able to attract the attention of a new audience.
