Egypt and Mexico to resume Afro-Latin dialogue

In the framework of the Egyptian foreign policy interest in reactivating relations with the African and Latin America countries, the Egyptian and Mexican Foreign Ministries have agreed to hold a round of bilateral dialogue in Cairo next October under the rubrics of "dialogue in the 21st century."

This dialogue will discuss ways of boosting bilateral relations in the light of the similarity of challenges facing them.

Egypt's ambassador to Mexico Mamdouh Shawky said noble prize laureates including Ahmed Zewail and Naguib Mahfouz would be invited to take part in the dialogue.

Dialogue will tackle a wide array of regional and international issues, such as peace, peaceful settlement of conflicts, development efforts and expanding commercial and economic cooperation.
