CAIRO, March 4 (Hina) - Croatian Ambassador to Cairo Daniel Bucan met Egyptian Trade Minister Ahmed El-Goweili on Sunday to discuss ways of intensifying overall business cooperation between the two countries, the Croatian Embassy said in a statement on Monday. Goweili stressed Egypt's interest in increasing the volume of trade with Croatia, which had risen in the last three years to about USD 30 million. A delegation of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce and the Split County Chamber of Commerce, including about 40 business people, would visit Egypt soon. Bucan handed his host an invitation from Croatian Economy Minister Davor Stern to visit Croatia in April, which he accepted with pleasure. (hina) vm 041206 MET mar 96
