Jordan-Egypt, Politics, 11/21/2003

Jordan's Ambassador in Cairo Hany Al-Mulaga said that his country will not support any Israeli project that damages the Egyptian economic interests.

The Ambassador in a press conference organized by the Embassy yesterday, said that the project proposed by an Israeli official on setting up a railway between Jordan and Israel to compete with the Suez Canal.

As it is futile to the Israelis themselves whose shores are narrow, so the project will be doomed to failure.

He indicated that there is a Jordanian-Egyptian project to link the two countries' borders at the point of Al-Aqaba.

"It will be Egypt's window on the Asian countries through the operation of about 20 ferries per day, and this project is under scrutinized study before implementation," he added.
