Egypt's presidency said on Monday that President Mohamed Mursi departed Cairo this morning heading to Pakistan's Islamabad in an official visit that will be followed by another to India's New Delhi. The last visit of an Egyptian president to India was made in November of 2008 by deposed leader Hosni Mubarak while Mursi's visit to Islamabad is the first of an Egyptian president since Anwar al-Sadat's in 1974. According to the presidential statement, Mursi will meet with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian President Pranab Mukherjee as well as senior officials from both sides.
