He said that there are real investment opportunities in Egypt after the revolution that will be available to Kuwaiti businessmen following the disposal of the monopoly systems which used to hinder foreign investment. He added that he was given the green light to demolish and rebuild the embassy building and residence in Kuwait and construct a newer buildings as to befit the status and role of Egypt after the revolution of January 25. He pointed out that preparations to do so are underway with the concerned Kuwaiti authorities.
