On the Ground in Egypt & UAE

March 9, 2015/in Congressional Programs - CPP, Events, Events, Events, Regional Challenges /by actualize

March 9th: PSA hosted a small off-the-record round table lunch with Dr. Graeme Bannerman, PSA Board member and former Senate Foreign Relations Committee Staff Director. Just returning from his travels to Egypt and the UAE, Dr. Bannerman shared information and insight from meetings with government officials, security figures, community leaders, and others in both countries. America’s relationships with these nations are complex, but continue to prove critical in advancing U.S. priorities in the Middle East – including the fight against ISIS, efforts in Israel/Palestine, and promoting stability in the region.
