Egyptian Diplomat: Egypt's New Constitution to Meet People's Demands
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Egyptian diplomat stressed that the country's new Constitution will fulfill wishes of the Egyptian people.
Speaking to the Islamic republic news agency, Egypt's Permanent Representative to the UN Majed Abdelaziz pointed to the latest political developments in Egypt, and underlined that the revolution in that country would lead to parliamentary elections and formulating a new constitution for Egypt.
The new constitution would fulfill wishes of the Egyptian people, he stated.
On February 11, Egypt's military took power after President Hosni Mubarak resigned in a televised program due to a nationwide, 18-day series of popular protests that shook the country to its foundations.
The military rulers then suspended the constitution and dissolved the parliament. The army promised to oversee a six-month transition to democratic rule.
Elsewhere, Abdelaziz stressed that Cairo has potentially been optimistic about establishing bilateral ties with Tehran.
However, he stressed the issue was completely depended on the will of officials of the two countries.
After the collapse of Hosni Mubarak's regime, the Iranian and Egyptian officials voiced their interest in the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries and Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi officially invited his Egyptian counterpart Nabil al-Arabi to pay a visit to Tehran.
The Iranian foreign minister and his Egyptian counterpart also held a meeting in Bali, Indonesia earlier this month.
During the meeting which took place on the sidelines of a ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), the two diplomats conferred on ways to promote the bilateral relations between Tehran and Cairo, and stressed the need for continued consultations in this regard.
Al-Arabi had earlier announced that Cairo would soon open a new page with Iran.
