(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Iran and Egypt are two influential countries in the region and the new Egyptian government will therefore try to improve ties with Tehran, Amari told reporters on Monday.
He added that the two “big regional powers” have wide-ranging grounds for cooperation, stating that Tehran-Cairo relations are very important and influential for the region.
Egyptian interim President Adly Mansour took the oath of office earlier this month after the military ouster of former president, Mohamed Morsi.
At least 100 people have been killed in an unrelenting wave of violent clashes between Morsi supporters, his opponents and security forces since the president was ousted by the military on July ۳ and put under “preventive" arrest.
Amari further said that Egypt will try to send a delegation to the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s president-elect Hassan Rohani.
Rohani’s swearing-in is scheduled to be held on August 4, one day after he is endorsed by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
