CAIRO, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Egypt expressed full solidarity with the Tunisian people's confidence in the country's presidency to overcome the current political crisis, said the Egyptian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Sunday.
Egypt also stressed "the necessity to avoid escalation and refrain from violence against state institutions," and praised the role of Tunisian national institutions in maintaining the country's security and stability.
Ahmed Hafez, spokesman of the ministry, also expressed Egypt's aspirations for the Tunisian people to overcome the ongoing challenges and move forward towards building a better future.
