Egypt: Cairo, the Arab League and BRICS

Background

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and one of the largest cities in Africa, on the banks of the Nile near ancient Memphis. The League of Arab States (Arab League) was formed in Cairo on 22 March 1945, with Egypt among its founding members; its headquarters is in Cairo, though it was moved to Tunis in 1979 and later back to Cairo. Egypt is also a member of BRICS, having joined in 2024 with Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.
