The Kuwaiti fund for economic development will sign on Saturday a ten-million Kuwaiti dinar (about $32m) fund loan with Egypt, reported Kuwaiti official news agency (KUNA).
The sum is allocated to aid government plans to construct new schools and education facilities. Since 1964, Egypt signed 21 loan agreements with the fund, amounting to 948.9 million dollars, said the agency, quoting the fund’s director, Bader Al Hmaidhi.
