Egypt's interim President Adly Mansour
CAIRO, Jan 5 (KUNA) -- Egypt's interim President Adly Mansour on Sunday
visited Cairo's main Coptic Orthodox Cathedral to greet church leaders on
Christmas, the first such visit to the church by an Egyptian leader.
A Presidential statement said that Mansour stressed during his visit the
need for harmony between Muslims and coptics for the welfare of the homeland.
"This is the first time an Egyptian president visits the Papal Seat to
congratulate the Christians on the occasion of Christmas," the church said in
a statement.
It said that "love and hope prevailed during the meeting, which made
everybody happy". (end)
