Egyptian minister of foreign affairs Nabil Fahmy told Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans that all decisions in Egypt are made by the government and are not influenced by external sources.
The two ministers discussed the domestic situation and Fahmy explained Egypt’s commitment to build real democracy through the ballot box, he added, stressing that Egypt would “progress in line with the rule of law without exceptions or the exclusion of any one person or party.”
Fahmy emphasised that peaceful protest should be allowed to occur, but should do so “without incitement or violence.” Fahmy also stressed the ministry’s “timely commitment to the roadmap.”
