A senior Egyptian official has described Cairo-Tehran relations as “strategic,” saying that both sides must work to tap into potentials for further cooperation.

Egypt's Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said on Tuesday that his country sees great strategic value in its diplomatic ties with Iran and that national interests play a crucial role in such relations, Mehr news agency reported, citing an article published in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Youm al-Sabe'.

The Egyptian foreign minister also noted that Egypt and Iran constantly exchange views over regional and international developments.

Leading Egyptian presidential hopeful Amr Moussa told the German-language Swiss daily Tages-Anzeiger on November 14 that Iran is not considered as an adversary state in the Middle East and Cairo will try to establish closer relations with Tehran in the future.

Last April, the head of Egypt's ruling military council Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi praised Iran's 'excellent' position in the Muslim world and expressed hope that Tehran-Cairo ties would further expand.

"We hope that the upcoming stage would be a stage of special bilateral relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, serving the best of both countries," Tantawi told the German magazine, Der Spiegel.

Iran severed ties with Egypt after Cairo signed the 1978 Camp David Accords with the Israeli regime and offered asylum to Iran's deposed dictator, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

I hope Egypt doesnt become another proxy battleground the way Yemen or Lebanon has

it is good that with Mubarak gone, Egyptians wont be brain-washed into believing that Iranians are ''evil'' people the way Saddam used to instill in his loyalists

all Muslim countries --as members of the OIC - should have cordial relations that are mutually beneficial
 
i'm not, actually.

'Egypt' becomes like Lebanon and Yemen? Does that make sense to you? What are the similarities between Egypt, as one of the most important Arabic countries and also the center of the Arab world with over 85 million people living it and countries like Lebanon and Yemen? Egypt can't turn into Lebanon or Yemen by any means.
