UN General Assembly
2014

Egypt today has regained its self-confidence and is upholding the principles of law and freedom. With its Arab identity and African roots, it is the cradle of the Mediterranean civilization and the beacon of moderate Islam. Egypt aspires to resolve regional disputes and uphold the principles of justice and humanity in today’s world. I am confident that Egyptians have an infinite capacity to give. We have inherited that gift from our ancestors and will remain ever generous, God willing. Long live Egypt. Long live the peace-loving peoples of the world. Long live the principles of humanity and the values of tolerance and coexistence. May peace be upon the Assembly, and the mercy and blessings of God as well.
