Egypt receives King Hussein soon

Jordan’s King is expected in Cairo soon for talks with President Hosni Mubarak on the current efforts to push ahead the stalled Middle East peace process, Jordanian Minister for Information Samir El-Metawli said yesterday.

Praising Egypt’s efforts to break the four month-old Middle East peace deadlock, the Jordanian official told a reporter that this country’s Prime Minister, Abdle Salam El Majali, will convey a message today from Hussein to Palestinian president Yasser Arafat in a meeting in Ramallah.
