Spain reconsiders travel warning on Egypt

Spanish government ordered Thursday to consider again its travel warning to Egypt after a visit of Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy to Madrid. The government's order excluded South Sinai resorts from its travel ban and reduced level of its warning on traveling to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea governorates. The decision was taken by the government of Spain following a meeting between Fahmy and his Spanish counterpart José Manuel García-Margallo. The Egyptian minister started a two-day visit Thursday to Madrid. During his visit, Fahmy held a meeting with the Spanish parliament speaker and will meet leaders of Spanish Confederation of Employers' Organisations (CEOE) on Friday.
