US ambassador in Cairo: Washington will increase efforts to forward Middle East peace process

Arab League Secretary General Esmat Abdul Meguid and the U.S ambassador in Cairo, Daniel Kurtzer, discussed the current efforts to forward the peace process.

After the meetings, the U.S ambassador said his country hopes to forward the peace process on all tracks, especially after Israeli Prime Minister-elect Ehud Barak's assumption of power.

Abdul Meguid informed the U.S official of the importance of pushing forward peace on the basis of the Madrid terms of reference and United Nations resolutions, the land-for-peace principle, Israel's implementation of the Wye River accord and progress on all tracks.
