CAIRO — Egyptian Foreign Minister Esmat Abdel Meguid briefed ambassadors of 15 Arab countries Wednesday on talks last week with U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz.
Foreign Ministry sources said Meguid told the ambassadors that recent moves in the region are aimed at “establishing a just and comprehensive peace through an international conference.”
The meeting with the ambassadors was the first such gathering in 11 years. All Arab states except Oman, Sudan and Somalia closed their Cairo embassies after Egypt signed its 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
