Welcome to the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Washington, D.C.
It is a distinct honor to assume my duties as Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the United States during the year in which the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence. Egypt and the United States share a longstanding and strategic partnership, built over decades of cooperation in support of peace and stability in the Middle East and Africa and strengthened by growing ties in various sectors including trade, investment, education, culture, and people-to-people engagement.
As I begin my tenure, I look forward to building on this strong foundation, expanding opportunities for cooperation between our two countries, and advancing our shared interests. Our economic relationship continues to grow, with more than thousand American companies doing business in Egypt, while the close ties between our peoples remain an essential pillar of our partnership.
I extend a particularly warm greetings to Egyptians living in the United States. The Embassy remains ready to serve as your connection to home, and we are committed to serving you and strengthening your ties with Egypt.
It is a privilege to represent Egypt in the United States, and to be part of this ongoing success story of partnership between our two nations. I look forward to working with the U.S. Administration and our partners across the country to further strengthen this enduring partnership in the years ahead.
