British Prime Minister David Cameron arrived in Egypt on Monday, 21 February, for talks with military rulers and opposition figures, becoming the first foreign leader to visit the country after the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak. “I am particularly keen about being able to get to Egypt and to be one of the first people there.”
The British premier is due to hold talks with defense minister Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who leads the ruling military council that is running Egypt. He will also meet with the caretaker Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq and opposition groups.
Part of Cameron’s agenda will be a call for the lifting of emergency law, which has been in place for more than three decades, a British official accompanying Cameron said.
