Ellwood launches major British trade mission to Egypt

British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Tobias Ellwood on Tuesday launched in Cairo a major British trade mission during the inauguration of a conference that was organized by the Egyptian-British Business Association.
In his statement at the conference Ellwood said that such a trade delegation is the biggest of its kind over the past 10 years.
The move, he added, attests to keenness on part of Britain to increase its investments and trade exchange with Egypt.
The current visit by the British businessmen to Egypt is part of a maintained economic cooperation program between both countries, he added.
