CAIRO: Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty attended the inauguration of Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran’s new president, on Tuesday at the parliament building in Tehran.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi had earlier congratulated Pezeshkian on his victory in the presidential elections, which, he said, “reflects the confidence of the Iranian people in his ability to serve his country and steer it toward prosperity and development.”
El-Sisi wished the new leader success in his duties and expressed his appreciation of good relations between the people of Egypt and Iran.
Egypt mourned the deaths in May of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
Egypt’s presidency said in a statement: “It is with deep grief and sorrow that Egypt mourns the death of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and their aides, on May 19 in a tragic helicopter crash.”
