Bosnian president to visit Egypt in October

Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic is to visit Cairo in October at the official invitation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Izetbegovic had previously postponed the visit, originally scheduled for the beginning of May 1997, for health reasons and the rescheduled visit, scheduled for September 1997 was postponed without mentioning any reasons, while a third visit, due to take place this month, was postponed due to interior reasons.

The Bosnian - Egyptian discussions will tackle the enhancement of bilateral relations and the development of the situations in Bosnia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean where the two presidents will view the signing of three agreements in the fields of economy, education, youth relationships and sports.
