Established in 2012, in response to the increasing tensions building between the East and West, the Foundation sponsors and fosters exchanges between emerging leaders from both cultures in the fields of arts, science, law, media and entrepreneurship – both business and social. The “East-West: The Art of Dialogue” initiative is a dynamic exchange program designed to connect and build constructive relationships between future leaders from the Arab world and the West. Its flagship program, which has come to be known as ‘The Gabr Fellowship’, works towards the vital goal of building on the aforementioned ties between nations through cross-cultural dialogue and the development and execution of collaborative projects, which are the result of the combined creative visions of the Fellowship’s carefully selected participants. Each year, the Fellowship consists of 20-24 Fellows, approximately 10 Americans and 10 Egyptians, with an equal distribution of men and women. The Fellowship featured its first participant from the UK in 2015 and will continue to expand to include additional nationalities in the future. Program participants spend two weeks in Egypt, followed by a further two weeks in the U.S., building enduring connections through hands-on activities, rigorous discussions, web-based interaction and most importantly, their own collaborative action projects. Over the past years, American and Egyptian Fellows have developed collaborative projects where they can leverage their experience and develop impactful initiatives. They share their experiences of the exchange with their peers, colleagues and societies. The exchanges do more than introduce the Fellows to new societies. They alter the very perceptions that have been fabricated by decades, even centuries, of misinformation. They provide the opportunity for frank discussions about the issues impacting both regions and create alliances between leaders of the next generation. The Gabr Fellows have acquired a greater understanding of both Egypt and the United States and the challenges faced by both communities. Having served as cultural and linguistic ambassadors to one another, they return home to play the role of diplomat, introducing Egyptians and Americans to a people, a culture and a future never before explored in this way. Together, through their cooperation and their projects, they are creating the legacy of ‘The Gabr Fellowship’: an international cohort dedicated to pursuing cooperative,

  • Arab Republic of Egypt
    Egypt Country Profile ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT OFFICE OF COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS, ROYAL THAI EMBASSY, CAIRO THAI TRADE CENTER 1 Thai Trade Center, Cairo ٍ Sherif Yehya Egypt Country Profile Background: The regularity and richness of the annual Nile River flood, coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to the east and west, allowed for the development of one of the world's great civilizations. A unified kingdom arose circa 3200 B.C., and a series of dynasties ruled in Egypt for the next three millennia. The last native dynasty fell to the Persians in 341 B.C., who in turn were replaced by the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. It was the Arabs who introduced Islam and the Arabic language in the 7th century and who ruled for the next six centuries. A local military caste, the Mamluks took control about 1250 and continued to govern after the conquest of Egypt by the Ottoman Turks in 1517. Following the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, Egypt became an important world transportation hub, but also fell heavily into debt. Ostensibly to protect its investments, Britain seized control of Egypt's government in 1882, but nominal allegiance to the Ottoman Empire continued until 1914. Partially independent from the UK in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty with the overthrow of the British- backed monarchy in 1952. The completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt. A rapidly growing population (the largest in the Arab world), limited arable land, and dependence on the Nile all continue to overtax resources and stress society.

    U.S.-Egyptian Relations Since the 2011 Revolution: The Limits of Leverage An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Politics in partial fulfillment of the Honors Program by Benjamin Wolkov April 29, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1. A History of U.S.-Egyptian Relations 7 Chapter 2. Foreign Policy Framework 33 Chapter 3. The Fall of Mubarak, the Rise of the SCAF 53 Chapter 4. Morsi’s Presidency 82 Chapter 5. Relations Under Sisi 115 Conclusion 145 Bibliography 160 1 Introduction Over the past several decades, the United States and Egypt have had a special relationship built around military cooperation and the pursuit of mutual interests in the Middle East. At one point, Egypt was the primary nemesis of American interests in the region as it sought to spread its own form of Arab socialism in cooperation with the Soviet Union. However, since President Anwar Sadat’s decision to sign the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty in 1979, Egypt has proven a bulwark of the United States interests it once opposed. Specifically, those interests are peace with Israel, the continued flow of oil, American control of the region, and stability within the Middle East. In addition to ensuring these interests, the special friendship has given the United States privileges with Egypt, including the use of Egyptian airspace, expedited transit through the Suez Canal for American warships, and the basing of an extraordinary rendition program on Egyptian territory. Noticeably, the United States has developed its relationship with Egypt on military grounds, concentrating on national security rather than issues such as the economy or human rights.

  • Recipient Country Status for Egypt: Political and Economic Assessments
    PUBLIC DOCUMENT OF THE EUROPEAN BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT RECIPIENT COUNTRY STATUS FOR EGYPT: POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ASSESSMENTS PUBLIC PUBLIC Explanatory Note: Egypt is a founding Member of the EBRD and in 2010 during the Annual Meeting of the EBRD Board of Governors in Zagreb indicated its interest to become a recipient country of the EBRD. For Egypt to become a recipient country it was first necessary to amend Article 1 of the Agreement Establishing the Bank to allow for the geographical extension of the Bank’s operations to the member countries of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED). The report of the Board of Directors to the Board of Governors on the process of extension (BDS11-187 (Final)) and the related Resolutions Nos. 137, 138 and 139 of the Board of Governors, envisioned a three-phased approach to the geographical extension of the Bank’s operations to the member countries of SEMED. • Phase I : In the initial phase of engagement the Bank was authorised to carry out technical cooperation and other similar non-investment activities with the use of cooperation funds. The EBRD Board of Directors approved the commencement of the first phase of activities in Egypt on 11 October 2011. • Phase II : In the second phase of engagement the Bank was authorised to carry out investment activities in Egypt drawing on the Investment Special Fund for SEMED countries. This required first the entry into force of the amended Article 18 of the Agreement Establishing the EBRD (on 22 August 2012) and adoption by the Board of Governors of a Resolution granting Potential Recipient Country status to Egypt (on 26 November 2012, extended on 11 November 2014).
