Belgium keeps embassy in Cairo closed

BRUSSELS, Aug 14 (KUNA) -- Belgium kept its embassy in the Egyptian capital Cairo closed on Wednesday after security forces moved in to disperse protestors demanding the reinstatement of ousted President Mohamed Morsi.
The decision to close the embassy was made due to safety concerns of the staff, Belgian media reported. The Belgian Foreign Office is urging Belgian holiday makers to leave Egypt. Those staying in Cairo are advised to stay indoors.
Most of the Belgian tourists in Egypt are staying at coastal resorts at the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. (end) nk.gb KUNA 142201 Aug 13NNNN
