CAIRO, April 2 (MENA) - Grand Imam of Al Azhar Ahmed Tayyeb had talks Wednesday with Minister of State for Military Production Mohamed el Assar on means of promoting bilateral cooperation.

The meeting falls within the framework of the Military Production Ministry's efforts to contribute to national and development projects.

The talks tackled the industrial and technological potentials of the ministry's companies as well as the ministry's projects to develop Azharite institutes nationwide.

The ministry established 14 Azharite institutes in 2017-2018 and is currently setting up 50 institutes and restoring 160 in 2018-2019.

The two sides discussed means of getting Al Azhar to get a boon from the ministry in securing equipment, electronic systems and labs for practical faculties.

This fruitful cooperation falls within the framework of a cooperation protocol signed between the two sides in January 2017.

Meanwhile, Azhar Imam Ahmed Tayyeb hailed the key role played by the Military Production Ministry in supporting state development plans.

He added that Al Azhar is keen on benefiting from the expertise and potentials of the ministry in upgrading the infrastructure of its facilities.
