Co-Chairs and Members of the Congressional Friends of Egypt Caucus Meet with President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi

WASHINGTON, D.C.– This morning, Co-Chairs of the Congressional Friends of Egypt Caucus, Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL-25) and Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD-2), along with nine other members, met with H.E. President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

"As co-chairs of the Congressional Friends of Egypt Caucus, we were honored to meet with Egypt's President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, to discuss mutual national security interests and shared goals. For decades, Egypt has been a valued partner in forging peace, fighting against terrorism, and promoting global security. Like the United States, Egypt has suffered brutal acts of terrorism within its borders and knows firsthand the high stakes and sacrifice incurred in the struggle for peace and security. We are grateful for Egypt's friendship and look forward to working together toward our mutual goals.

"This year, we marked 100 years of U.S.-Egypt diplomatic relations. As we reflect on our joint successes of the past century, we look forward to fostering this essential relationship and meeting our challenges together for many more years to come."
