BUDAPEST (Reuters) – The United States will resume a policy of limited contacts with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed on Thursday.

Clinton told a news conference it was in U.S. interests to have such contacts, saying they had occurred in recent years, and that U.S. officials would emphasize the importance of non-violence, democratic freedoms, and the rights of women and minorities in such contacts.
