The US welcomes the results of Egypt’s parliamentary election, which was characterized by transparency and integrity, said John Kerry of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a meeting with Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzouri on Saturday.
In press statements following the meeting, Kerry said he found Ganzouri keen on achieving security and restoring order to the Egyptian street as soon as possible, since such an achievement would restore confidence in tourism, investments and other trading activities.
Kerry added that his country is ready to provide assistance to the Egyptian government, in order to help it get beyond the transition period and achieve the aspirations of the Egyptian people.
Following his meeting with Ganzouri, Kerry headed off to a meeting with Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi.
MENA added that Kerry hailed the election’s high voter turnout.
On Saturday, Kerry is scheduled to meet officials from the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party.
