Salehi confers with Egyptian Sufis: Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said on Wednesday that Iran and Egypt will promote their ties in near future.
In a meeting with a delegation of Egyptian Sufis, he referred to the country’s cultural and civilizational affinities and said that both nations are keen on developing bilateral ties.
Pointing to the role of Egypt in the Muslim World as well as depth of its cultural status, he said that Sufism has a long history in Egypt.
The Sufis hailed the Iranians for their respect and hospitability. They also said that they esteem Prophet Mohammad Household (PBUH).
Iran severed ties with Egypt in 1980 after Cairo signed the 1978 Camp David Accord with Israel and offered asylum to Iran’s deposed shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
In April 2011, then Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi called for normalization of ties with Iran, saying Cairo was committed to improving long-frozen relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
