WASHINGTON, November 30, 2011/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- Press Statement

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Secretary of State

Washington, DC

November 30, 2011

Yesterday, Egypt concluded the first two-day round of voting in its historic transition to democracy. I congratulate the Egyptian people for a peaceful, successful start to their election process. Egyptians are justifiably proud to begin the process of choosing their new leaders. The United States stresses the importance of Egypt's transition to democracy continuing in a just, transparent and inclusive manner.

The American people will continue to stand by the people of Egypt as they move toward a democratically elected civilian government that respects universal human rights and will meet their aspirations for dignity, freedom, and a better life.
