On August 11, Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi hosted an iftar dinner to break the fast of Ramadan in Cairo for the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, who was paying a one-day visit to the Egyptian capital. The recently inaugurated Mursi, a former party official from the Muslim Brotherhood’s Justice and Construction Party, had sworn in his new cabinet just over a week before meeting the emir.
Soon after the summit it was announced that Qatar would deposit $2 billion with the Central Bank of Egypt to support the country’s finances.
