Hi all

The Pharoahs were in Botswana just two months ago to see a goalless draw with our national team the Zebras.

But just this week, President Festus Mogae of Botswana has been in Cairo on a state visit, in order to explore further areas of support and cooperation with Egypt.  In his talks with the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, the two presidents have called for more African action in resolving conflict on the continent.  Botswana has enjoyed several areas of cooperation with Egypt, including having Batswana trained as security personnel and other areas of human resource development (which I never knew about).  Mogae and Mubarak also discussed bilateral issues and strengthening their ties through using Egyptian expertise.

President Mogae also laid two wreaths at the Unknown Soldier monument as well as on the tomb of the late Egyptian president, Anwar El-Sadat.

For me personally, who will ever love Egypt as my adopted second home :) I see this as a sure sign of good things to come.  Let us young people keep the dialogue alive, and keep working on ways that we can cooperate and develop our countries together.

Finally, I want to wish everyone an incredible and safe festive season. Please drive safely, more especially on Africa's roads, but also have a very wonderful and prosperous New Year.

Sincerest Regards,

Bukamu :)
