Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said:<\/p>\n

\n

I am pleased that the British Embassy in Cairo has today resumed public services in full. I am very grateful for the close co-operation from the Egyptian Government which has made this re-opening possible.<\/p>\n

Britain and Egypt have strong bonds between our people, essential commercial links, and cooperate closely in a number of areas. This same cooperation also sees thousands of British holiday-makers heading off for the Egyptian sun every Christmas and New Year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

British Ambassador to Egypt John Casson said:<\/p>\n

\n

It is great news that, thanks to the vital cooperation of the Egyptian government, we have today restarted full public services at the British Embassy in Cairo.<\/p>\n

Britain is fully open for business in Egypt. In the days ahead we will be investing in Egyptian education through the new \u00a320m Newton-Mosharafa fund, welcoming thousands of tourists for the Christmas break, and preparing for a trade mission in January to create Egyptian jobs with British investment.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s commitment to Egypt\u2019s success is as deep and strong as ever,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
