El Sisi hosts business roundtable in New York
EL SISI BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE in New York: As his visit to the US begins to wind down, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi held a roundtable in New York with American chief executive officers and top business execs. Talk centered on both the business environment for US companies in Egypt and the overall bilateral economic relationship, we’re told. Hosting were the US Chamber’s US-Egypt Business Council, in cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt and the Egypt-US Business Council. Among those attending: David Thorn, a senior advisor to Secretary of State John Kerry; Apache chairman and CEO John Christmann (who heads the US-Egypt Business Council) and Myron Brilliant (executive vice president and head of international affairs at the US Chamber). Egypt-US Business Council chief Omar Mohanna, AmCham president Anis Aclimandos and AmCham Egypt Inc. CEO Hisham Fahmy were also in attendance. (AmCham Egypt Inc. is AmCham’s mirror organization in the United States.)
