Assistant Foreign Minister for US Affairs, Sameh Aboul-Enein, met with Canada’s newly appointed Ambassador to Egypt, Ulrich Shannon, on Tuesday to discuss strengthening economic ties, attracting Canadian investment, and expanding trade between the two countries.
During the Cairo meeting, both parties emphasized the significance of supporting the Canada-Egypt Business Council and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Egypt, aligning their efforts with Egypt’s broader economic development objectives, as stated by the Egyptian foreign ministry.
Aboul-Enein underscored Egypt’s interest in learning from Canada’s leading experience in economic growth to bolster its own national development initiatives.
In a symbolic gesture, Ambassador Shannon presented Aboul-Enein with a commemorative plaque featuring a joint stamp issued by Egypt’s National Postal Authority and Ahram Canadian University, marking 70 years of diplomatic relations between Egypt and Canada.
The meeting follows recent diplomatic activities, including a conversation between Egypt’s Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelatty, and Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly during the 79th UN General Assembly in New York.
