BUDAPEST: The United States has been in "limited contacts" with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt following the recent political changes in the country, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday.

"The Obama administration is continuing the approach of limited contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood that have existed on and off for about five or six years," she told journalists on a visit to Budapest.

"We believe that given the change of the political landscape in Egypt, it is in the interest of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful and committed to non-violence," she said.

"This is not a new policy but it is one that we’re re-engaging in," she went on.
