John Baird: I wasn t naive to suggest that I would come and the situation would be resolved, Baird said at a joint press conference with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, according to Toronto Star. The meeting with Shoukry lasted for about half an hour and some 20 minutes of it was devoted to Fahmy, an official told the Star Bruce Campion-Smith and Foreign Minister John Baird gave no indication of any new developments in efforts to secure the release of a Canadian journalist who has been imprisoned for more than a year on terrorism charges, after talks in Cairo on Thursday morning.
