As the streets of Cairo erupted in celebration, leaders and officials around the world greeted the departure of President Hosni Mubarak on Friday with full-throated expressions of support for the people of Egypt along with some measured words of caution ahead for an uncertain period of political transition.

Across a region that has seen online social networks lead to real-world social upheaval, many officials released their first statements via Twitter.

“Egypt takes the Arab world into a new era. Let’s make it a better one,” Bahrain’s foreign minister, Sheik Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa, wrote on the social networking site. The minister appeared to have been following developments on Twitter, where he reacted swiftly, reposting and agreeing with a statement by a Dubai writer that a “strong powerful innovative Egypt is good for us all.”
