Cairo – Egypt’s first freely-elected President Mohammed Morsi says his country will stand with Palestinian people until they get their rights.

According to the reports Morsi said: “I will not betray my nation, my people,” Morsi said during his inauguration speech at Cairo University on Saturday.

Earlier, Morsi took the oath and became Egypt’s first civilian president in a swearing-in ceremony at the Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC).

The Muslim Brotherhood candidate was announced president on Sunday after a runoff with Ahmed Shafiq, who served as Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister.
