European-Arab forum

Dr. Mohamed Abdellah, chief of the Egyptian people's assembly foreign affairs committee, left Cairo earlier this week for an official visit to Spain. Dr. Abdalla will take part in a three-day European-Arab forum which opened yesterday.

The Egyptian parliamentarian will chair the Arab side at a working group meeting to focus on three topics: the relationship between the European union and the Arab regional organization, the political dimension of the European-Mediterranean partnership and the Middle East peace process, Al Gomhoria reported.
