July 2009.
As a follow-up to the May 2009 dialogue, participants discussed changes in Egypt and how to reshape U.S. aid to Egypt, broaden economic ties, support effective political reform and increase educational and cultural exchange. As in the previous dialogue, a group of Egyptian and American NGO and business leaders, diplomats, foreign policy experts, scholars, journalists and activists engaged in a vibrant debate and generated recommendations to strengthen U.S.-Egypt ties over the next decade.
