CAIRO, July 30 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates Affairs Badr Abdelatty asserted the special nature of the relationship between Egypt and the US.
He expressed Egypt's keenness to strengthen cooperation and coordination with both chambers of the US Congress in various fields that serve the mutual interests of the two nations.

He highlighted the outcomes of the Egypt-US Economic Forum, held in Cairo on May 25-26, which brought together over 50 American companies and marked a significant step in enhancing bilateral economic engagement.
Abdelatty reviewed Egypt's continued efforts to promote peace and stability in the Middle East, amid growing challenges in the region.
Regarding the situation in Gaza, Abdelatty presented Egypt's ongoing diplomatic initiatives aimed at securing a ceasefire and ensuring the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to the besieged enclave, where living conditions continue to deteriorate.
He also underlined Egypt's broader efforts to restore calm and create the conditions necessary for a just and lasting political resolution to the Palestinian cause.
The meeting also covered developments in the Sahel region and West Africa, particularly the escalating security threats posed by the spread of terrorist organizations and armed militias. (MENA)
