US sends biggest trade delegation to Egypt
Cairo
THE US sent its biggest-ever trade delegation to Egypt, the latest sign that the allies have repaired the rift that followed the army's ouster of an elected president last year.
Executives from about 70 companies, including Apache Corp and Coca-Cola Co, held talks with officials here to explore opportunities in a country struggling to recover from more than three years of unrest. The mission, organised by the US Chamber of Commerce, also met President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, the former general who was elected in May after leading the overthrow of his Islamist predecessor, Mohamed Mursi.
