Mohamed Morsi to visit Iran

New Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi will visit Iran next month, the Jewish Telegraphic agency says.

Morsi will be attending the conference of the Non-Aligned Movement, a group of states that do not consider themselves allied or opposed to any major international powers, according to the Times of Israel.

Morsi became chairman of the movement automatically upon becoming Egyptian president, but will hand the chairmanship to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the meeting.
