Turkey working to foil Egypt's efforts to become energy hub
CAIRO – Egypt's former ambassador in Washington, Mohamed Tawfiq, expected Wednesday the administration of U.S. President- elected Joe Biden to be ready to listen to the Egyptian point of view when Biden takes over in January.
He
added at a seminar organized by al-Bawaba News on the latest elections in the
United States that Egypt is the most stable country in the Middle East region.
"However,
we face some major challenges, including the need for Egypt to become an energy
hub and a major center for regional cooperation," Tawfiq said.
He
said Egypt took many steps in this regard. However, he added, countries like
Turkey work actively to sabotage Egyptian efforts in this regard.
A
host of political scientists, former diplomats and experts attended the
seminar, which – among other things – discussed the expected American foreign
policy line under Biden.
