Zaki Hashem MP engages in high-level investment diplomacy meeting

Zaki Hashem, Attorneys at Law, is proud to share that Yasser Hashem, Managing Partner, was honored to participate in an exclusive public-private dialogue with H.E. Dr. Badr Abdelaty, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration, and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs. An outstanding event that was hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and organized by MSK & Partners.

Held at the historic Ministry of Foreign Affairs Palace on Saturday, June 28th, 2025, this high-level meeting marked the beginning of a strategic dialogue between the Ministry and key leaders from the private sector. The event focused on strengthening public-private partnerships and explored upcoming initiatives aimed at attracting foreign direct investment and supporting the global expansion of Egyptian businesses.

The dialogue featured participation from a large group of well-versed Egyptian ambassadors nominated to key trade and investment partner countries, alongside prominent figures from across the private sector.

During the valuable input from private sector representatives, Yasser Hashem highlighted Egypt’s wealth of bilateral agreements for the promotion, protection and guarantee of investments, double taxation treaties, and trade agreements - all of which support Egyptian investments into partner countries and are viewed as a major achievement in the history of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This wealth of treaties is a solid foundation, which should be built upon, to facilitate further the penetration of Egyptian investments into these countries.

On the local side, Yasser praised the legislative initiative proposed by Senator Sameh El-Sadat to enable the establishment of family offices and family holding companies in Egypt with incentivized structures, allowing them to remain and grow within the country rather than initiating their offshore investments through foreign setups.

We commend the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MSK & Partners, and all participants for this meaningful step toward strengthening Egypt’s investment diplomacy. We are proud to have contributed to this vital event.
