Egypt's military rulers have agreed to form a "national salvation government", reports say.
The move follows days of often violent protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
Delegates at a crisis meeting between political groups and the military said parliamentary elections next week would go ahead as scheduled.
They added that the military had pledged to hold presidential elections before the end of June next year - a key demand of protesters.
Selim al-Awwa, a participant in the talks, told Mena news agency the new government "would implement the goals of the revolution".
Further details of the agreement are still emerging.
