Egypt, a long-time ally with profound influence on U.S. security, is making a transition from authoritarianism to democracy and needs support from the United States.

Likewise the Egyptian market, strategically located astride the Suez Canal, offers promising opportunities for United States exporters seeking a platform to serve the Middle East and North Africa region.
