Annual Cairo University political research conference to discuss Egypt's ties with its neighbors

The Strategic and Political Studies Center at Cairo University will begin its 12th annual three-day conference for political research on Saturday under the title "Egypt and the geographical neighbor country in the nineties."

Director of the center Nazeli Mewad said that this conference comes as part of coping with the developments witnessed by Egypt's geographical neighbors since the end of the Gulf War and the downfall of the Soviet Union in adherence to an analysis of the effects of these developments on Egypt's current ties and its future prospects.

Mewad added, "The conference will focus on three main pivots, that each treats one of the dimensions of Egypt's ties with its neighboring countries, which are the political, economic and cultural dimensions, as well as tackling the issues relating to minorities, borders and armament."
