Elham: Iran-Egypt ties to benefit world Muslims
Egypt-Iran, Politics, 5/15/2007

Iran's government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said today that ties between Iran and Egypt would be to the benefit of world Muslims as well as the countries in the region.

He made the remarks in his weekly briefing.

Expansion of ties between Iran and Egypt could even be considered a threat to the "terrorist Zionist regime", he said in reference to Israel.

Iran, based on the same rules and policies it severed ties with Egypt, is now ready to reestablish relations with that country, he said.

"Iran's foreign policy seeks expansion of ties with all countries except the fake Zionist regime," underlined Elham.

The status of Islamic countries in defending their own rights as well as the legitimate rights of Palestinians is in a good shape, he observed.

On a question about Egypt's response to Iran for restoring ties, he said that Iran believes that Egypt, by making a shift in its foreign policy, would give a positive response to Iran's request.
