Cameron, US Official Visit Egypt

British Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived in Egypt, becoming the first foreign leader to visit the country since the ouster of longtime president Hosni Mubarak.
Mr. Cameron arrived Monday in Cairo, where a senior U.S. State Department diplomat also landed for an official visit.
U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns is scheduled to meet with Egypt's interim military-led government, as well as representatives of civil society.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced last week the United States has pledged $150 million to assist Egypt's economic recovery and support its governmental transition.
