Burns to visit Egypt for start of "comprehensive discussions"
2009-05-30
Gird your loins.
U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Bill Burns will travel to Egypt on June 6 and 7, and meet with senior Egyptian officials to put in place "a framework for comprehensive discussions" between the United States and Egypt on a range of issues, the State Department announced on Friday.

"These discussions will enhance our cooperation with Egypt and strengthen our bilateral relationship," the statement said.

The visit will follow by two days a stop in Cairo by U.S. President Barack Obama, where he plans to deliver what has been described as a major address to the Muslim world.
