Egypt's president-elect Mohamed Morsi said late Sunday that he will respect all international agreements and wants peace in his first televised speech to the nation after he was officially declared winner of the presidential polls.

"We will work hard to safeguard security of Egypt... We respect all international conventions and agreements. We have told the world we want peace," said Morsi.

"We will form very balanced relations with all international forces. It will be balanced between us and all other countries on the basis of common interests and mutual respect. We will try to treat them equally," said the presidential winner.

Morsi said Egypt would not interfere with the business of others, nor allow anyone to interfere with its internal affairs.

As Muslim brotherhood's candidate, Morsi pledged to be a president for all Egyptians.

"There is no difference between Coptics and Muslims. All are governed by the law," said Morsi. "The national unity is the only way to bring Egypt out of the current stage."

The presidential election commission announced on Sunday afternoon Morsi won the run-off vote with 51.7 percent of votes, defeating ex-premier Ahmed Shafiq.
