In response to media queries on the car bomb blast outside a Coptic Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt, following a New Year's mass, the MFA Spokesman said:
"Our Embassy in Cairo is in touch with the Singaporeans residing in Alexandria, Egypt. There are no Singaporeans affected by the bomb blast. Singapore strongly condemns the attack on a religious institution in Egypt. The incident is another sombre reminder that terrorism continues to remain a serious threat and all countries have to remain vigilant and take tough counter-terrorist action in the fight against this scourge".
