.- Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak remains in Egypt, Egyptian officials said today the U.S. television. Mubarak, who resigned last Friday as president and gave powers to the Supreme Military Council of Egypt, he moved that day to his vacation villa in the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in the Red Sea coast.

Asked about the program''This Week''on ABC, the Egyptian ambassador to the White House, Sameh Shourky, said he had no exact knowledge of the whereabouts of the former president,''but I think it is in Egypt.'' The presence of Mubarak in Sharm el-Sheikh was confirmed earlier by Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik.

Shourky also referred to the decision announced Friday to the Supreme Military Council to maintain all existing international treaties, including the peace treaty with Israel in 1979. The diplomat said the treaty has been beneficial to Egypt during the past 30 years, since its signing in the White House.

''We've had dividends. We were able to establish security and stability in the region,''he said,''I think it is a major element of our foreign policy,''he said.
