The British Embassy in Cairo reopened on Tuesday after suspending public services nine days ago for security reasons, the embassy said in a statement.
“I am very grateful for the close co-operation from the Egyptian Government which has made this re-opening possible,” British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said in the statement.
Britain closed its embassy to the public on Dec. 7, and the Canadian embassy closed its doors a day later.
It has yet to reopen, according to the embassy’s emergency telephone service.
