Houston, TX- Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, invited the American Chamber of Commerce Egypt to Houston, Texas to discuss ways of bolstering economic trade between Egypt and the city of Houston.

"I am honored that the American Chamber of Commerce Egypt accepted my invitation to Houston," stated Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. "Extending this invitation was imperative because of our important relationship with Egypt. This delegation reflects our close political, economic, and social ties and what better place than for this delegation to visit the fourth largest city in the United States and America’s energy capital, Houston."

Congresswoman Jackson Lee leads the American Chamber of Commerce Egypt on a tour through the many landmarks of Houston and her district, which will include Texas Southern University, a tour of the Third Ward Community Development Progress and investment options as well as St. Joseph's Hospital pavilion.

"It is critical that we work together to foster and renew relationships between this delegation and the Houston business community. Moreover, it is imperative that we not only bolster the delegation’s relationship with Houston’s multinational corporations but also minority, small, and women owned businesses,” said Congresswoman Jackson Lee.
 
"As a Member of the House Homeland Security, Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees, I believe all Americans have a vital stake in strengthening our relationships with the people and governments of the Middle East. The city of Houston is a shining example of how the United States can strengthen its ties to the Middle East," concluded Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
