Egyptian Consul in Juba expresses his government readiness to support Twic State in developing animal farming.
Ahmed Adly says Egyptian government is willing to support development efforts in South Sudan as whole.
He says he has discussed with Twic State Governor about development of animal farming.
Twic State Governor Bona Panek Biar says his state is rich in agriculture and animal resources.
He says the Egyptian Embassy in Juba has shown interest in establishing a veterinary hospital and a training institute on animal husbandry.
The development plans in Twic State still await persuasion of Egyptian investors and feasibility study, the officials say.
Unlike other insecure regions such as Upper Nile and Equatoria, Governor Panek says Twic State in Bahr El Ghazal region is safe enough for development.
