A delegation from the American Chamber of Commerce arrived in Cairo on Saturday on a several days' visit, to take part in a meeting to support Egypt's nomination for a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council.

The 33-member delegation arrived on board an Egyptian plane coming from New York, a source at Cairo International Airport said.

The meeting comes as part of Cairo's efforts to back the Egyptian membership in the Security Council.

During the meeting, Egypt will review its stances towards various international issues.
