Achievements of 2005

Egypt-U.S.:
The EIEF deepened cooperation with the government of the United States of America through three schemes: April 13-21 First U.S. Trip (expanding on Egypt-U.S. relations), May 12-15 Second U.S. Trip (in parallel with the Egyptian Prime Minister’s visit to frame the importance of enhancing the bilateral relations between Egypt and the United States) and a special EIEF workshop “Egypt and the United States: Strategic Partners in Challenging Times” that was held in Egypt in September 2005 in honor of a distinguished congressional delegation. The forum called on both governments to enhance Egypt-U.S. relations based on respect, sovereignty and understanding. The Forum declared its initiative to invite ten young people from different U.S. constituencies to visit Egypt and meet with Egyptian youth to promote a better understanding between the two nations.

EIEF-AmCham:
The EIEF joined forces with different organizations in Egypt to further enhance Egypt’s economic prosperity: A joint working lunch, hosted by EIEF, between the forum’s board and the AmCham board took place in February 2005 to identify goals and ways of cooperation between the two organizations.

EIEF-Library of Alexandria:
A round table discussion, hosted by EIEF, in conjunction with the Library of Alexandria took place in March 2005 on “Economic Reform in Egypt and its Effect on Political and Social Reform” (the event shed light on the “management of change” concept and its importance in the society).

EIEF-ABC:
A round table discussion, hosted by EIEF, in conjunction with the Arab Business Council took place in May 2005 on “Arab Media Initiative” (a paper was developed by the ABC highlighting key areas of the initiative).
