Abbas arrives in Cairo for talks on Palestinian issue
2007-02-26
(Xinhua) -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas arrived here on Sunday for talks on forming a Palestinian national unity government, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will meet with Abbas on Mondayto discuss the outcome of a trilateral summit between Abbas, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week, MENA said. The three-way talks in Jerusalem on Feb. 19 failed to achieve tangible progress other than a repeated commitment to a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Abbas and Mubarak will also discuss the outcome of Abbas' recent European tour aimed at rallying support for a Palestinian unity government and revival of the peace process, MENA quoted Palestinian Ambassador to Egypt Monzer al-Dajani as saying. On Feb. 8, Hamas and Fatah agreed in the Saudi city of Mecca on forming a national unity government. Prime Minister Ismail Haneya of Hamas was designated to form the new government.
