According to the US embassy on Sunday, representatives from leading American companies – including Bechtel, Cisco, Hill International, TMEIC, OSI/Rapiscan, Aveva, and Alvarez & Marsal Holdings – will join the Ambassador in visiting ports in Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said, and Ain Sokhna.
These visits will strengthen US-Egypt economic ties and mutual prosperity, the embassy added.
"The companies represented in Alexandria today embody the best of American innovation, technology, and expertise and have a proven track record of delivering transformative solutions to port infrastructure and operations worldwide." Ambassador Mustafa Garg emphasised the significance of this major trade delegation.
She stated that the US business delegation is eager to support Egypt's port development efforts, laying the groundwork for enhanced security, economic growth, and prosperity for both the US and Egypt.
She added, "This important event is made possible through our close relationship with Egypt's Ministry of Transportation and, especially, with Deputy Prime Kamel El-Wazir."
According to the US embassy, in 2024, total goods and services traded between the United States and Egypt reached an estimated $12.4 billion, marking a 17.5 percent increase from 2023.
Egypt remains the United States' largest market on the continent of Africa, and more than 1,800 American companies operate in Egypt.
By supporting Egypt's port development, US companies will secure critical trade routes, enhance global supply chain resilience, and expand opportunities for American businesses abroad, the embassy added.
