The British Embassy has re-opened in Cairo following an agreement to step up the building’s security.
The Foreign Office said the embassy and the Egyptian government have agreed on a number of measure to improve the physical security of the embassy building.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "I am pleased that the British Embassy in Cairo has today resumed public services in full. I am very grateful for the close co-operation from the Egyptian Government which has made this re-opening possible.
British Ambassador to Egypt John Casson said:"Britain is fully open for business in Egypt.
"In the days ahead we will be investing in Egyptian education through the new £20m Newton-Mosharafa fund, welcoming thousands of tourists for the Christmas break, and preparing for a trade mission in January to create Egyptian jobs with British investment.
"Britain’s commitment to Egypt’s success is as deep and strong as ever.
