Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov meets on Monday with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Secretary General of the League of Arab States (LAS) Amr Moussa to discuss prospects to improve the Palestinian-Israeli situation and unblock the peace process on the whole.
“The talks will focus on Middle East problems, the Arab-Israeli settlement in the first place,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said.
“The dynamics of events and the high activity of Russia and Egypt in this direction make it imperative to constantly coordinate efforts aimed at correcting the Palestinian-Israeli situation and unblocking the entire peace process,” he emphasized.
“Moscow highly appreciates the efforts of the Egyptian leadership to liquidate a split in the Palestinian ranks,” the Russian diplomat went on to say.
