Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
November 30, 2011
Yesterday,
Egypt concluded the first two-day round of voting in its historic
transition to democracy. I congratulate the Egyptian people for a
peaceful, successful start to their election process. Egyptians are
justifiably proud to begin the process of choosing their new leaders.
The United States stresses the importance of Egypt’s transition to
democracy continuing in a just, transparent and inclusive manner.
The
American people will continue to stand by the people of Egypt as they
move toward a democratically elected civilian government that respects
universal human rights and will meet their aspirations for dignity,
freedom, and a better life.
