Spring 2000
At
an Open Forum at the Department of State, ISCA representatives met with His
Excellency Nabil Fahmy, Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt. In his
discussion on US Egyptian Relations: Looking Beyond the Peace Process,
Ambassador Fahmy stressed the importance of increased trade relations between
the two countries as a future endeavor.
In
his speech, he also mentioned that he is an ambassador of faith, as he has made
it his mission to build bridges of understanding between Islam and the West, two
entities that are not exclusive of one another, he said.
The Ambassador thanked the ISCA staff members for a copy of TMM, a very high quality publication, he said, and agreed to meet at a future date to discuss various diplomatic issues.
