- The Minister’s participation reaffirms South Sudan’s position as the nexus for East African energy cooperation while consolidating existing bilateral ties between the two countries.

Dr. Mohamed Shaker El-Markabi, Egypt’s Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, will attend this year’s South Sudan Oil&Power (SSOP) 2023 conference and exhibition in Juba from 14-16 June. The Minister’s participation reaffirms South Sudan’s position as the nexus for East African energy cooperation while consolidating existing bilateral ties between the two countries.
The Egyptian Embassy in South Sudan, which will be attending SSOP alongside Minister El-Markabi, continues strengthening the bilateral relationship between the two countries, advancing cooperation across the oil, gas, and infrastructure fields. As an energy heavyweight in its own right, Egypt’s experience as an oil and gas player is vital for South Sudan as the country solidifies its position as the engine of East African growth.
During this sixth edition conference, Minister El-Markabi will participate in sessions and networking forums to strengthen dialogue and promote regional and international collaboration in electricity generation, power management, and renewable energy development. “South Sudan is entering a new stage of growth and development, and global partners such as Egypt will serve to reaffirm the country’s importance on the regional and international stage while further cementing the role knowledge sharing and collaboration plays in developing a competitive energy market,” stated James Chester, Senior Director of SSOP event organizer, Energy Capital&Power, adding, “We look forward to having Minister El-Markabi join SSOP 2023.”
