REPORT: Kerry meets Egyptian counterpart, says Cairo a "vital partner"

2^min

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo on Sunday and said Egypt was a "vital partner" that Washington was committed to working with.

Kerry, the most senior U.S. official to visit Egypt since the army overthrew Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July, stressed the need for fair and transparent trials for all Egyptians.

Kerry's visit happened the day before Morsi and 14 other senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders were due to go on trial charged with inciting violence.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Cairo pressing for reforms during the highest-level American visit to Egypt since the ouster of the country's first democratically elected president.

The Egyptian military's removal of Mohammed Morsi in July led the U.S. to suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in aid.
