We will have interactions with all national groups who have not taken up arms against the Egyptian people and have not accepted calls by the Takfiris.
The statement urged that legal action be taken against anyone who does not observe these principles.
The statement referred to the US and Europe as the main source of crises in regional countries, including Egypt, adding that the US and European countries cannot be Egypt’s friends.
