Yemeni president congratulates Egypt's interim leader

SANAA, July 4 (Xinhua) -- Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi on Thursday congratulated Egypt's interim head of state Adli Mansour, who has just assumed his new post.

According to the Yemeni state-run Saba news agency, Hadi expressed hope that Mansour could lead Egypt to the shore of security and national unity.

On Wednesday, the Egyptian army ousted Mohamed Morsi after days of massive protests against his rule, and assigned Mansour, chief of Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court, to run the country for a transitional period.

Mansour was sworn in earlier on Thursday.
