Morsi struggles to make foreign policy mark

Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically elected president, seemed eager to make his mark on foreign policy when he came to power nearly a year ago.

Morsi visited Iran in a first for an Egyptian leader in more than three decades since the two countries broke ties.

He tried to join Iran, Turkey Egypt and Saudi Arabia into a quartet of regional powers to help resolve the Syrian crisis, but with minimal success.

Egypt’s status as a regional powerhouse has been eclipsed by instability at home.
