Gro Harlem Brundtland, Jimmy Carter and Mary Robinson offer encouragement and support for an inclusive democratic transition.
A delegation of The Elders arrived in Egypt today for two days of meetings and events from 23-25 October: former Prime Minister of Norway Gro Harlem Brundtland, former President of the United States Jimmy Carter and former President of Ireland Mary Robinson.
The three Elders look forward to meeting the President of the Republic, Mohamed Morsi, religious leaders, senior officials and diplomats, human rights and women’s organisations, members of civil society and young people.
Arriving in Egypt, the Elders emphasised their appreciation for the non-violent way in which the Egyptian people brought about the great changes that have swept the country since January 2011 and offered their support and encouragement for an inclusive, democratic transition.
