Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Swedish Charge d’Affairs in Cairo on Tuesday over the repeated Quran-burning incidents in the Scandinavian country.
According to a ministry statement, Assistant Foreign Minister for European Affairs Ihab Nasr stressed, during the meeting, Egypt’s previous warnings of the dangerous repercussion of such act that would help Islamaphobia grow even further, destroying the bonds of civilized communication between different societies.
He also stressed the need for Swedish authorities to take measures to prevent these unfortunate incidents and preserve the culture of tolerance and the principles of peaceful coexistence.
