Statement by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean on the Presidential Elections in Egypt

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) wishes to congratulate the Egyptian people on the outcome of the Presidential Elections process. PAM is confident that the democratic election of H.E. Mohamed Mursi, as President of Egypt, will open a new chapter for greater democracy, further promotion of human rights and a more prosperous and stable country.

 

The political transition has now to be translated into stronger independent institutions with more space to the civil society, and with the participation of the citizens, eager to achieve those aspirations that inspired their Revolution against the former regime.

 

PAM also expresses its invitation to Egypt to continue fulfilling its leading role in securing peace and stability in the Mediterranean and Middle East for the benefit of all the populations of the region.
