German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle arrived in Cairo on Wednesday for talks with Egypt’s interim government and backers of ousted president Mohamed Morsi.
A spokesman said the visit was aimed at encouraging the country to return to the path of democracy and had been closely coordinated with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who visited Cairo this week.
Westerwelle “would like to get a sense of the situation during this critical phase and will promote the quick return to democratically endorsed conditions and the resumption of an inclusive transformation process with all his interlocutors,” the spokesman told reporters.
