Egypt will remain a civil, constitutional and democratic country, President Mohamed Morsi said in an interview with state TV aired on Saturday night.
President Morsi said the right of expressing opinions, provided that it does not harm public or private properties, is warranted for all citizens.
He said the government will carry out measures to achieve social justice, raise incomes and alleviate burdens on citizens.
Morsi said that he will implement Renaissance Project to help realize Egyptians' aspirations and improve their living standards, expressing confidence that "Egypt is capable of achieving progress and become among the industrialized countries."
The president recalled many challenges during the transition period, claiming "the situation is now moving toward political stability after the (presidential) elections."
As regards foreign policies, President Morsi said Egypt is ready to have good relations with all countries of the world, confirming that Egypt does not antagonize anyone and stands at equal distance from all parties.
Referring to the Syrian crisis, Morsi said "we are seeking to stop the bloodshed in Syria, and the Syrian regime should know that continuing bloodshed violates all laws and norms."
The Egyptian president noted that the next meeting of the quartet committee on Syria, to be held in New York on Sept. 25 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, is likely to be attended by leaders of the four countries: Egypt, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
