The United States and Egypt are partnering to foster further cooperation toward peace in the Middle East. The United States has invested $600 million to digitize Egypt’s telecommunications sector, and Egypt has imported $5.9 billion from the United States to construct, expand, and modernize Egyptian infrastructure. The United States welcomes Egypt’s ongoing leadership through the COP27 presidency to accelerate global ambition and action to tackle the climate crisis. The United States and Egypt support the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) and the new GMP Energy Pathway, which Egypt has joined with respect to the oil and gas sector. The United States firmly believes critical partnerships like the US-Egypt relationship are stronger when there is a shared commitment to human rights, according to the US State Department.
