EU official to visit Egypt for discussions

The European Union's foreign affairs representative will arrive in Cairo on Wednesday for an official two-day visit, according to the Egyptian news agency MENA.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton's visit is her third since the 25 January revolution.

Ashton will meet with Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister Nabil al-Arabi for discussions about relations between Egypt and Europe, as well as the latest regional and international developments, MENA reported.

The agency also said Ashton will take part in a meeting on Thursday hosted by the Arab League for regional and international organizations to discuss the situation in Libya.

Ashton had first visited Egypt on 21 February, when she met with several Egyptian officials and representatives from political groups. Her second visit was in mid-March.
