The two sides considered ways to support the EAPD with regard to training programmes that could be provided for specialists in the field of manufacturing and testing satellites and the fields of space sciences.
Mohamed Khalil, Secretary General of the EAPD, said that the cooperation aims to support African countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union Agenda 2063 by transferring the authority’s distinguished expertise in the field of Health to African countries and providing therapeutic and pharmaceutical assistance.
