Egyptian president to visit Lebanon

Lebanese president Elias Hrawi telephoned his Egyptian counterpart Hosni Mubarak to inquire about his health after the medical check-up he had undergone in Switzerland.

Hrawi took the opportunity to invite Mubarak to Lebanon, and said that the Egyptian president promised to visit the country soon, no date set.

The Lebanese president also called education and sports minister John Obeid to congratulate him on the conclusion of the Pan Arab games.

Hrawi asked Obeid to invite all the Lebanese medal-winners to the presidential palace for a ceremony in their honour.
