The two-day talks will tackle "all aspects of bilateral relations and cooperation areas targeted to be reinforced," a statement by the Egyptian foreign ministry read.
The two sides "will also exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest," the statement added.
Shoukry is scheduled to meet with his US counterpart Antony Blinken, other officials, congressmen, and members of the most prominent US think tank organizations.
The US-Egypt Strategic Dialogue was first launched in the mid-1990s, lasting until 2009 when it was halted, before resuming in 2015.
On Thursday, the US Department of State expressed its commitment to strengthening the forty-year US-Egypt partnership by enhancing security cooperation, advancing human rights, and growing economic relations and cultural ties.
