Egypt FM to meet counterpart in US, discuss relations
By

CAIRO, April 23 (Aswat Masriya) Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister will fly to the United States within hours to meet U.S. Secretary of the State John Kerry and other American officials, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

Fahmy is scheduled to hold talks regarding political, economic and commercial relations with his American counterpart.

Ties were strained between Cairo and Washington following the army's ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi last July after mass protests against his rule.

The United States announced on Tuesday it will deliver 10 Apache attack helicopters to Egypt, in a step that relaxes the suspension of aid imposed after Mursi's ouster.
