Egypt convenes high-level meeting ahead of Egypt–US Investment Forum - Foreign Affairs
The forum will showcase Egypt's strategic efforts to develop priority economic sectors, including energy, information technology, industry, and healthcare.
It will also highlight recent financial services, banking, transportation, and logistics reforms.
More than 50 leading US companies and senior Egyptian government officials are expected to participate.
Organizers say the event will offer a platform for exploring new investment opportunities, particularly in key areas such as the Suez Canal Economic Zone, which aligns with Egypt's broader development and investment goals.
The forum marks the culmination of three months of coordination led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with participation from various national ministries and agencies, the Egyptian Embassy in Washington, the American and Egyptian Chambers of Commerce, and the Egypt–US Business Council.
Focus sectors include food and agriculture, energy, healthcare, financial services, technology, aviation and space, tourism, and logistics.
Major US corporations confirmed to attend include AstraZeneca, Bechtel Corporation, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apache Corporation.
The initiative reflects Egypt's ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties with the United States and attract further American investment to support the country's sustainable development agenda.
According to the latest data from the US Embassy in Cairo, total bilateral trade in goods between the two countries reached $6.9 billion in 2023.
Egypt remains the top destination for US foreign direct investment in Africa, attracting $13.7 billion last year. More than 1,000 US-affiliated companies are currently active in the Egyptian market.

India to continue buying Russian oil despite Trump's sanction threat, officials say
India will continue to purchase cheap Russian oil despite threats of sanctions from U.S. President Donald Trump, Indian officials said on Saturday, in the latest development in a matter New Delhi believed had been settled, according to The New York Times. President Trump said last week that he would penalise India if it did not stop buying Russian oil, without specifying the nature of the potential punishment. On Friday, he pointed to reports that Russian shipments to India had decreased, telling reporters: 'I understand that India is no longer buying oil from Russia… that's what I heard. I don't know if that's correct, but it's a good step. We'll see what happens.' Reuters reported earlier that India's state-run refiners had halted purchases of Russian oil a week ago as discounts shrank in July. On 14 July, Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil unless Moscow reached a major peace agreement with Ukraine. The New York Times quoted two senior Indian government officials as saying that 'there has been no change in oil policy'. One of the officials clarified that the government 'has not issued any directives to oil companies to stop or reduce their imports from Russia'. During a press conference a day earlier, India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, declined to comment directly on Trump's threat but hinted that the country would stick to its position on Moscow. 'Our bilateral relations with various countries stand on their own footing and should not be viewed from the perspective of a third country,' Jaiswal said. 'India and Russia have a stable and time-tested partnership.' Since the war in Ukraine began, India has significantly increased its imports of Russian oil. Russia is now India's top supplier, providing about 35% of its total supplies, up from less than 1% before the conflict. New Delhi imports more than two million barrels of crude oil per day from Russia, making it the second-largest buyer of Russian oil after China. Officials and analysts suggest that Trump's focus on the issue may be a 'negotiating chip' in the context of ongoing talks between India and the United States to reach a bilateral trade agreement, which is in its early stages. It is noted that China and Turkey, also major importers of Russian oil, have not faced similar threats from Washington. India came under significant pressure during the initial months of the war in Ukraine to scale back its economic ties with Moscow, and this pressure continued as its oil imports grew. However, as the war entered its second year, the international stance on India's oil imports began to shift. New Delhi appeared to have successfully convinced its American and European allies that its large-scale purchases of cheap Russian oil, under a price cap imposed by the G7 and the European Union, were in fact helping to maintain global energy price stability. Early last year, senior U.S. Treasury officials visiting New Delhi stated that India was implementing a mechanism that had proven effective: keeping Russian oil flowing to global markets but at lower prices that reduced Moscow's revenues. Eric Garcetti, who was then the U.S. Ambassador to India, said: 'They bought Russian oil because we wanted someone to buy it at a specific price cap. It wasn't a breach; it was part of the policy design because we were afraid of oil prices going up, and they did their required part.'

SpaceX Delivers New Crew to ISS
Israa Farhan SpaceX has successfully transported a new four-member crew to the International Space Station (ISS) after a 15-hour journey from Florida. The Crew-11 mission, part of NASA's routine rotation program, includes two American astronauts, one Russian, and one Japanese. Their arrival raises the number of astronauts aboard the station to eleven. Launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the team will remain on the ISS for at least six months, replacing the current crew scheduled to return to Earth next week. During their mission, the astronauts will simulate lunar landing scenarios for NASA's Artemis program and study how microgravity affects spacecraft control and crop growth. The scientific cargo includes Armenian pomegranates for agricultural experiments. The ISS, operational since 2000, continues to serve as a key hub for international space research. Despite global tensions, the US and Russia maintain cooperation on the station. Roscosmos and NASA recently held their first high-level meeting since 2018 to discuss extending ISS operations through 2030. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, remains a vital player in American space exploration, regularly launching missions to support NASA's goals and international space collaboration. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

INTERVIEW: Bazaar founder Lydia Akram on modest fashion, Egypt's homegrown retail revival - Style - Life & Style
In this Ahram Online exclusive, Lydia Akram — founder of LA Market and a pioneer of Egypt's modest fashion bazaars — talks scaling up, spotlighting local brands, and why Cairo is becoming a regional shopping destination. Related Austin and US embassy in Cairo pave way for 11 Egyptian fashion entrepreneurs In mid-July, Akram hosted her eighth fashion-plus event of 2025 at the Egyptian International Exhibitions Center. The three-day exhibition featured over 250 Egyptian brands offering everything from modest clothing and kids' wear to home décor and prepared foods, drawing over 20,000 visitors. For Akram, this is more than a business milestone. It's the culmination of a vision that began in 2018, when she first launched LA Market as a one-woman initiative, with just 20 brands and a small social media campaign. The debut event drew 2,000 visitors—less than one-tenth of the most recent turnout. Akram, a logistics management graduate and mother, saw an early gap in the Egyptian retail space for stylish, modest clothing—years before 'modest fashion' became a global trend. She explained that there was always demand for modest dressing, but many women, hijab-wearing or not, were tired of clothes that were awkwardly adapted to be modest, rather than designed that way from the start. The 2016 currency devaluation had already made imported fast fashion prohibitively expensive for many. This shift in consumer behaviour created an opening for affordable, well-made local alternatives. Today, Akram heads a 25-member team and works with more than 300 homegrown brands, with another 2,000 on the waiting list. But she insists that the real story is 'about the wonderful job the many good local brands have been doing.' 'I really think what the local brands have been offering in general, but specifically in terms of modest dressing, is the core of the success story,' Akram said. 'Obviously, we are very particular about who joins our LA Market, not just in terms of quality but also in terms of making sure that it is really and truly 100 per cent Egyptian from styling to production.' According to Akram, the success of these local brands is similar to that of the LA Market – and for that matter other brands that do not necessarily specialize in modest fashion: 'it is an incremental process of catering for the local taste with high quality products – not just in terms of clothing, although this remains to be the number one item on the list of purchases, but also in terms of skin care, beauty products, home décor and more.' The COVID-19 pandemic also reshaped the retail landscape, Akram explained. 'When people were confined to their homes and were surfing the net to do all kinds of shopping.' With the relaxation of the pandemic restrictions, she recalled, people were still not very keen to move around crowded shopping malls. Bazaars held in open spaces proved to be a very attractive idea. 'Luckily, because of this, my business did not die; I was scared that it was going to be crushed with COVID, but it turned out that the pandemic created some new spaces,' she said. Local production, Akram argued, expanded in the wake of the pandemic, with some people having used the time to think through long-procrastinated business plans or to decide on a new career path. Many new local brands came out across the board in the year after the pandemic, she insisted. Post-pandemic, LA Market has also gained international traction. 'We actually get visitors who are coming from many Arab countries, Europe and North America who actually book their flights to town in line with scheduled bazaars,' she stated. She also receives many foreign shoppers in a permanent store she set up this year for a selected choice of 80 local brands 'specifically for modest wear.' 'I think we do have some really impressive local brands that deserve a lot more attention, and the way forward is to try to take these brands to the international market – somehow,' Akram added. Her next ambition is to help these brands break into global markets. Helping these brands export their ware, Akram said, would expand the volume of their production, and this, 'by definition', could take them to the mass-production threshold, which is necessary to get the prices down. 'I am aware that some people are complaining about the pricing of local brands, but it all relates to the volume of production,' she added. She stresses that around 95 per cent of the brands working with LA Market are women-led schemes, including some projects specifically designed to help women of all socio-economic brackets expand their income, fulfil their passion, and maintain good cognitive functions. Currently, Akram has around 300 local brands on the business partners list. 'And we have some 2000 others on the waiting list; this is to indicate the growing volume of local brands,' she concludes.
