| Egypt will not re-dispatch the ambassador to Iraq unless security conditions and stability are restored in this country, Foreign Minister Ahmad Abul Gheit said in remarks published on Saturday. Abul Gheit, in remarks to the mass-circulation Al-Ahram, affirmed that all Arab states intended to restore diplomatic representation in the Iraqi capital, "but the problem lies with the (recurring) explosions and killings taking place there. "We cannot send our diplomats there while the killings continue." The minister alluded in particular to assassination of the Egyptian ambassador in Baghdad, Iahb Al-Sherif, after he was abducted in the middle of last year. He added that Egypt, at the recent Arab summit in Khartoum, campaigned for boosting inter-Iraqi dialogue to restore normalcy to this Arab country. |
