“Greece welcomes the election of the first democratically elected President of our friend the Arab Republic of Egypt, the distinguished scientist and politician Dr Mohamed Morsy. We also welcome the democratic ethos, the struggles and the love for freedom of our brother people the Egyptians; their bold transition to Democracy, as well as the patriotism and wisdom of the country’s institutions, which ensured a positive outcome.
Greece and Egypt are linked by historical ties. In the name of the security, peace and stability of our region, we will move ahead together, within the framework determined by international law, international agreements and the common interests of the two countries.”
