Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman announced on Tuesday in Cairo that President Hosni Mubarak took another step towards democratic reforms as he approved a committee to oversee constitutional changes in the Middle East country.
The committee will wrap up its work by the end of February, Suleiman said, adding that Egypt has a timetable for a peaceful and organized transfer of power.
Mubarak who ruled his country for 30 years pledged that he will not seek a new term, and he will stay until September's presidential election in order to ensure stability in the country.
