Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will travel to Egypt from September 17-19 to co-chair the opening of the U.S.-Egypt Strategic Dialogue with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. The strategic dialogue aims to strengthen the bilateral relationship, deepen economic development, and increase people-to-people ties through culture and education.
In addition to co-chairing the strategic dialogue, Secretary Blinken will meet with Egyptian officials to discuss ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza that secures the release of all hostages, alleviates the suffering of the Palestinian people, and helps establish broader regional security.
