Moussa comments on Iraq, Libya and Weizman's visit

Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa stated that Egypt's reaction toward the American - British air raids against Iraq was previously stated during a meeting of the Arab League council in March and that it has never changed.

Regarding Egyptian - Libyan relations in light of the Libyan relations' openness on the world, Moussa said, "The relations between the two countries are fraternal and neighborly ones and are expected to be activated in the light of openness," adding that the sanctions have nothing to do with Egyptian - Libyan relations, "which are much deeper than this."

Regarding the visit of Israeli President Ezer Weizman to Cairo today, he stated that, "The Israeli president's visit and his discussions with President Hosni Mubarak are no doubt be utilized to learn the Israeli positions regarding some matters."

Moussa said that the timing of this visit is appropriate and that President Weizman can, through his consultations in Cairo, serve to raise Egyptian concerns and clarify lots of issues.
