美国官员在开罗会晤埃及临时领导人,强调埃及需要过渡到一个具有包容性的民选文官政府。

美国副国务卿伯恩斯目前在埃及。自埃及军方本月早些时候罢免穆尔西总统后,这是美国高层官员首次对埃及进行访问。美国国务院说,伯恩斯星期一和星期二还将与公民社会与企业界领导人进行会谈。

与此同时,穆尔西所属的穆斯林兄弟会敦促其支持者星期一在开罗举行和平集会。穆斯林兄弟会已经举行了一系列大规模抗议活动,反对军方罢免穆尔西。

几天来,成千上万人在开罗东北部的一座清真寺附近举行集会,要求恢复穆尔西的总统职位。

U.S. officials are in Cairo to meet with Egypt's interim leaders and stress the need for a transition to "an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government."

Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns is making the first visit by a high-ranking U.S. official since the military ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi earlier this month.  The State Department says his talks Monday and Tuesday also include civil society and business leaders.

Those meetings come as Mr. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood urges its supporters to gather peacefully Monday in Cairo for the latest in a series of mass protests against his removal.

Thousands have been rallying for days near a mosque in northeast Cairo to demand the former president's reinstatement.
