UK Foreign Secretary, William Hague has condemned all forms of violence taking place in Egypt and urged dialogue, said the UK Foreign Office in a statement released Saturday detailing a phone conversation that took place earlier between Hague and Egypt's foreign minister, Nabil Fahmy. "The foreign secretary emphasised UK condemnation of all acts of violence, whether disproportionate use of force by the security forces or violent actions by some demonstrators," the statement said. Hague has emphasised that the EU is determined to support a "peaceful resolution of the situation" in Egypt. He said all sides should take steps to end present violence and engage in dialogue. The statement also assured that the Egyptian government showed commitment "to the political roadmap published on 4 July, based on dialogue between all parties who accepted peaceful political processes."
