Egypt’s New Administrative Capital (NAC) is set to host the largest British university delegation next week to foster collaboration and research partnerships between Egypt and the United Kingdom.

Attending these events will be Egypt’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Mohamed Ayman Ashour, and the British Ambassador to Cairo, Gareth Bayley.
Their presence underscores the significance of this delegation and the potential for future collaborations that could arise from these discussions.
