With all means of warm and friendly welcome, I have the pleasure to welcome all visitors -Egyptians and foreigners- to the website of the Egyptian Ministry for Foreign Affairs. As one of the leading Egyptian institutions in Egypt's modern history, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is keen to track the spirit of the age and the speedy progress in information and communication technology.  Our  new website is launched with the objective of  exerting relentless effort to provide information on various activities of the Ministry on both domestic and international arenas concerning political, economic, cultural and legal fields, , and on bilateral and multilateral levels. The site also displays all statements and speeches delivered in both Arabic and Foreign languages by the Foreign Minister, Assistant Foreign Ministers or senior officials before regional and international meetings and conferences. Furthermore, the site offers information about consular services and regulations. It contributes to facilitate consular services offered by the Ministry. This service can be promoted later so that citizens can pay their consular fees via the site. I do hope that the services offered by the site are to be presented in a high level performance that we all look forward to, I would also like to highlight the Ministry's willingness to receive your constructive comments and valuable remarks on the efficiency of this new site in order to contribute in its continuous enrichment and progress to achieve the utmost benefit for all of us.                                                            Ahmed Aboul Gheit
