The General Authority for Social Insurance and the Egyptian Social Insurance Authority held on Saturday talks that dealt with the project of an agreement for cooperation in the social insurance area.

The agreement was initially approved at the last meeting of the Yemeni-Egyptian Committee in Cairo and would  be finally signed by the two countries during the next committee meeting.

The agreement calls for promoting cooperation in the field of social insurance as well as identifying necessary frameworks to achieve legal and administrative measures to apply the agreement and exchange experiences.
