President Morsi accepted the invitation and indicated that he looked forward to visiting Singapore in the near future.

President Morsi and SMS Masagos further agreed that both sides would continue to explore and identify new areas of collaboration that would be mutually beneficial to Egypt and Singapore.  On the same day, SMS Masagos also called on Minister of Interior Ahmed Gamal El-Din and had a useful exchange of views with him on how both Singapore and Egypt dealt with issues of mutual concern such as homeland security.
