In his first visit to Egypt as Foreign Secretary, Mr Johnson will also host a reception with British investors and some of Egypt\u2019s best and brightest entrepreneurs. During the trip the Foreign Secretary will also meet with representatives of civil society and Human Rights activists.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the visit, the Foreign Secretary said:<\/p>\n

\n

I am looking forward to my first visit to Egypt as Foreign Secretary and meeting both President Sisi and Foreign Minister Shoukry to discuss a wide range of issues and deepen the strength of our bilateral relationship.<\/p>\n

The UK is a longstanding friend of Egypt. We are Egypt\u2019s top economic partner and strong allies against terrorism and extremist ideas. The UK is a champion of a renewed Egypt, because stability, peace and growth in this region are the bedrock of opportunity and security for British people and people in the region.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
