Committees

 

The Chamber has a number of committees to deal with matters of specific interest to members, and to present their views to the Egyptian and Chinese governments.

Committees form the backbone of the council’s success. Each committee is a specific action group, working out ways to reach common goals. Committees organize forums, invite guest speakers and present position papers. A number of ministers and Chinese agencies are encouraged to set up liaison officers to facilitate communication with the council’s committees.

Every committee has a chairman and vice chairman. New committees are formed to meet members' needs. At the beginning of each year committees are revised based on market needs and opportunities. The following are the suggested committees:
