Assistant Minister of International Cooperation Dr. Shehab Marzeban received on Sunday a delegation from the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD).

The meeting probed means of activating Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's program for the development of Sinai.

Minister of International Cooperation Sahar Nasr is keen on activating the 1.5-billion-dollar agreement signed earlier between the two countries to develop Sinai as soon as possible, Marzeban said.

The development projects will provide more job opportunities for the Egyptian youth and meet the needs of Sinai residents, he added.
