Two Egyptian judicial delegations will head for Britain and Cyprus within the coming days as part of efforts exerted to restore Egypt's looted and smuggled funds abroad, announced Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr.

The first delegation will head for Britain on May 28 while the second one will head for Cyprus early next month, Amr told reporters on Thursday 24/05/2012.

A diplomatic official, who is responsible for this file, will accompany the two delegations to follow up the issue, he added.

The Foreign Ministry's role is confined only to receiving requests from the judicial authority responsible of this file and handing them to the foreign authorities concerned, he added.
