Egypt: Rice's visit to be successful

The upcoming visit to Egypt and the Middle East by US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice is expected to be successful, said Egypt's Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul -Gheit.

Rice's visit to Egypt comes within the context of the continued Egyptian-US consultations, Abul -Gheit said. The Minister said that the US has been always keeping an eye on the Palestinian cause. The visit of Rice comes to reassert such a point, he added.
