U.S. Envoy Meets With PLO Official
From Reuters
TUNIS, Tunisia —
U.S. Ambassador Robert H. Pelletreau held a second meeting this week with Hakam Balaoui, the PLO’s representative in Tunisia, the Palestinian news agency WAFA said Friday.
It said Thursday’s talks evaluated the dialogue between the United States and the Palestine Liberation Organization and discussed ways of advancing it.
Pelletreau has been the channel for U.S. contacts with the PLO since the dialogue opened last December after PLO chairman Yasser Arafat renounced terrorism and recognized Israel’s right to exist.
