Egyptian Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mahmoud Esmat met with Sun Fuyu, CEO of Huawei China, and Jim Liu, CEO of Huawei Egypt, to discuss potential cooperation, as per a statement.

The discussions focused on utilizing Huawei's technology to improve the smart electricity grid, reduce technical and commercial losses, and combat electricity theft.
