Discussions took place in the field of strengthening relations between the two brotherly countries, while the issue of the ration card system applied in Egypt and the possibility of benefiting from the Egyptian experiences in this field was discussed, as the ration card items distribution system is one of the most successful experiments, as the system followed is the conditional cash system, which is to be dedicated to the purchase of foodstuffs exclusively according to the electronic payment system in order to maintain a sober social system and enhance food security that is linked to a solid central database that includes all relevant departments.
