Iranian Vice President Hamid Baqai arrived in Cairo Tuesday on a private jet from the Iranian capital Tehran for a two-day visit to Egypt.
During the visit, Baqai will deliver Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy an official invitation from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to attend the Non-Aligned Movement summit to be hosted by Iran on 30-31 August.
Baqai was received by Environment Minister Mostafa Hussein upon arrival at Cairo airport.
Egypt is currently the president of the Non-Aligned Movement but the office will be passed to Tehran in this year's session. 118 countries are members of the organization.

But Morsi will not attend ,because 'BABA PANETTA and MAMA HILLARY' DON'T WANT him to play with the fire !I cannot wait to know what kind of excuse he will create to stay at home?!Unfortunately he seems to be narrow minded,does not see the importance of a close tied with Iran,and not smart enough to put aside the religious differences.
