Cairo - Arab Today
The UK is committed to deepening cooperation and supporting Egypt's economic growth, the British Embassy in Cairo said in a statement following a visit by the country's ambassador and a trade envoy to an oil and gas industry event on Tuesday and Wednesday in Cairo.
"Energy investment is what will revive Egypt's economy in 2017," Ambassador John Casson was quoted as saying, following the visit.
Forty British companies showcased their portfolios in the event, Casson said, including two of Britain's four biggest companies in the oil and gas sector.
UK's Head of Department for International Trade for Egypt said the British companies at the event were "visiting Egypt for the first time to witness for themselves the market potential."
Egypt’s natural gas production is currently estimated at around 4.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd), and is expected to increase by 1.5 bcfd by the end of 2017.
In May 2016, the country's petroleum ministry predicted that production would rise to a range of 5.5 to 6 bcfd by the end of 2019

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
