克里承诺继续援助埃及后抵达沙特访问
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Saudi Arabia\'s capital, Riyadh, after a stop in Cairo where he pledged renewed financial assistance to Egypt.
During a meeting with Egypt\'s President Mohamed Morsi on Sunday, Kerry said the U.S. will provide $190 million immediately as part of a larger $450 million assistance package to spur crucial economic reforms. He also said Washington will give an additional $60 million for a new enterprise fund to support Egyptian entrepreneurs and young people.
For his part, Mr. Morsi gave assurances that Cairo will implement political and economic reforms to help stabilize his bitterly divided country.
Mr. Morsi also promised to finalize an agreement with the International Monetary Fund on a $4.8 billion loan package that has languished for months. Egypt\'s finance minister said he expects a deal to be reached with the IMF before parliamentary elections in April.
Cairo\'s central Tahrir Square became turbulent again Sunday evening as protesters demanding reforms clashed with security forces and set fire to at least two cars. Protesters also clashed with security in the troubled city of Port Said. Military officials say one policeman was killed in the clashes and dozens of people were injured.
美国国务卿克里抵达沙特阿拉伯首都利雅得。此前克里在埃及访问期间承诺，美方将继续为埃及提供经济援助。克里星期天与埃及总统穆尔西举行会谈期间表示，美国将立即为埃及提供一亿九千万美元援助。这笔援助资金是美方准备向埃及提供的四亿五千万美元援助的一部分。这些援助是为了推动埃及亟需实施的经济改革。克里表示，美国还将为埃及提供六千万美元，作为一项新企业基金，支持埃及的企业家和年青人。
埃及总统穆尔西则承诺，埃及政府将实行政治和经济改革，以帮助稳定陷于严重分裂状态的埃及局势。
穆尔西还承诺与国际货币基金组织敲定一项有关向埃及提供48亿美元贷款的协议。几个月来，这笔贷款一直处于被搁置状态。埃及财政部长表示，期待在埃及于4月举行议会选举之前和国际货币基金组织达成有关协议。
星期天晚上，开罗市中心的解放广场再次出现骚乱，要求改革的抗议人士和安全人员发生冲突，至少两辆汽车被点燃。抗议人士还在塞得港和警方发生冲突。埃及军方官员说，一名警察在冲突被打死，数十人受伤。
