WASHINGTON, September 13, 2012. African Press Organization (APO)/ --
APO president today called Egyptian President Morsi to review the strategic
partnership between the United States and Egypt, and our ongoing efforts
to strengthen bilateral economic and security cooperation. Given recent
events, and consistent with our interest in a relationship based on
mutual interests and mutual respect, President Obama underscored the
importance of Egypt following through on its commitment to cooperate
with the United States in securing U.S. diplomatic facilities and
personnel. The President said that he rejects efforts to denigrate
Islam, but underscored that there is never any justification for
violence against innocents and acts that endanger American personnel and
facilities. President Morsi expressed his condolences for the tragic
loss of American life in Libya and emphasized that Egypt would honor its
obligation to ensure the safety of American personnel.
