An Egyptian diplomat reasserted the strong ties between the U.S. and Egypt in a speech on campus Tuesday night. Maged Refaat Aboulmagd, the Egyptian consul general in Chicago, focused on three topics in his speech: the major factors driving the Egyptian revolution’s success, the historical relationship between the U.S. and Egypt and the future between the two countries. “The Egyptian-American relationship has been a solid partnership and still is,” he said.
