The United States stands with Egypt and the Egyptian people in their pursuit of a stable, democratic, prosperous country which ensures the rights and freedoms of its citizens. We share with Egypt a deep relationship that is rooted in cultural, economic, and military ties and in shared interests. The success of Egypt is critical for the region and is also in America’s best interests due to the important role Egypt plays both in the region and in world affairs.
