UK trade envoy to Egypt Jeffrey Donaldson arrived in Cairo on Saturday for a five-day visit, heading the largest British trade delegation to Egypt in nearly two decades. A statement by the British embassy in Cairo said that the visit will concentrate on oil, gas, education, infrastructure, and health. Donaldson said that the delegation’s visit is an encouraging sign of the potential that British companies see in investing in Egypt. He explained that Egypt and the UK are making sure that their trade relationship remains stronger than before, particularly in light of Britain’s exit from the European Union. The British Embassy in Cairo said that the UK is the largest foreign investor in Egypt, and that the current visit is an opportunity to further deepen trade ties between the two countries by discovering new investment opportunities across Egypt.
