Cairo: Egyptian president-elect Mohamed Morsi has said there will be no
foreign guests at his inauguration ceremony.
Morsi will be inaugurated Saturday in Cairo.
"I was categorically against the presence of any foreigner at the
president's swearing-in ceremony," he said during a meeting with
editors of national media outlets.
Only Egyptian citizens should be able to attend such an event, he
added.
Morsi said US diplomats had requested his meeting with Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton Sunday.
"I decided to postpone my reply to that request and the US decided
to postpone the visit," he said.
After the inauguration, the ruling Supreme Military Council will
transfer full power to Morsi, who has called for national unity
and pledged to form a coalition government.
