New Delhi: Egyptian Prsident Mohamed Morsi, the country's first democratically elected
president, is to visit India in the third week of March.
This was revealed by Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty, Secretary (Economic
Relations) of the external affairs ministry, at a conference here
Friday.
"India has actively engaged with the new governments in Egypt,
Libya and Tunisia. President Morsi of Egypt will be visiting India
in March," Chakravarty said while addressing a conference on 'The
Maghreb and India" organised by the Society for Policy Studies (SPS),
a think tank, and the India International Centre here.
Morsi, who is backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, will be visiting
in the third week of March. However, details of the visit have not
yet been worked out or the number of days he would be staying, an
external affairs ministry official told IANS.
The visit by Morsi comes at a time Egypt has again been rocked by
clashes and massive street protests by people demanding his
removal for some of his allegedly authoritarian moves. Dozens of
people have been killed, leading Morsi to impose state of
emergency in three provinces.
The opposition accuses Morsi of betraying the revolution that
toppled Hosni Mubarak two years ago and for distorting the
constitution, but Morsi has reassured the opposition that there
was no going back on "freedom and democracy".
