"In this roundtable, Dr. Kayhan Barzegar, Director of the IMESS, Mr. Alaa Eldin Youssef, Head of the Interest Section of the Arabic Republic of Egypt in Tehran, and Mr. Mohammad Ali Mohtadi, a senior research fellow at the Institute shared their views on the afore-mentioned subject.
But now I think this is a great opportunity for the two Muslim countries of Egypt and Iran to have good relations, based on advancing economical relations, tourism and cultural matters as well as on the issue of regional political-security trends where the two states can work together and establish a new kind of political-security coalition in this region.
Therefore, Increased Iran-Egypt relations can help to strengthen a kind of new regionalism and it is an opportunity for these two great nations, to work together on economic, cultural, tourism and political-security matters.
With these introductory perspectives, I now kindly ask Mr. Youssef to share his views with us about the experience of the Egyptian revolution, its implications for Egypt's domestic politics as we11 as the regional relations.
I think that the Egyptian revolution and the existence of new spirit can open the way for Egypt to play a more balancing role; this role is not against, neither in collision with the interests of the region.
Mr. Alaa Eldin Youssef: Regarding the Israeli impact on Egypt-Iran relations, I think that any Egyptian politician elected now is accountable to the people and entertains the idea of withstanding any Israeli pressure in regard to Egypt's relations with any country in the world."
