Egypt, Politics, 4/7/2001

The Saudi daily Okaz said that the Egyptian national security advisor Ammar Suleiman is a candidate to occupy the post of the prime minister in the framework of an expected ministerial reshuffle expected to take place in Egypt within the few coming weeks.

The paper quoted high ranking Egyptian sources as saying that Egypt's former representative at the UN Nabil al-Arabi is the strongest candidate to assume the post of the foreign minister.

The same sources stressed to the paper the nomination of Jamal Mubarak, son of the Egyptian president Mubarak to the post of the minister of international cooperation.

Okaz continued that the new ministry will include new ministers for the ministries of culture, commerce, the economy, international cooperation, the justice, administrative development and the sector of labor and workers and the change might also cover the ministries of the people's Assembly PA affairs and al-Shoura where the reshuffle will not cover the ministries of electricity, oil, the information, the interior and the public works.
