Kadafi Says He’ll Meet With Mubarak, Assad
Libya, Egypt and Syria will hold summit talks on the Persian Gulf crisis in the next few days, Egypt’s Middle East News Agency quoted Libya’s Col. Moammar Kadafi as saying Tuesday.
Foreign ministers of the three countries could meet in Cairo as early as today to prepare for the summit, MENA said in a dispatch from the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
Egyptian Foreign Ministry officials were not immediately available for comment. The summit would group Kadafi, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Syrian President Hafez Assad.
The summit, Kadafi told the news agency, would concentrate on the “situation in the gulf to prevent further deterioration.”
