US envoy begins Mideast tour in Cairo
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 27 - 01 - 2009


US President Barack Obama's envoy to the Middle
East, George Mitchell, arrived in Cairo airport on Tuesday, at the
beginning of a tour of the region, according to dpa.
Shortly after touching down at Cairo airport, Mitchell had private
talks with EU foreign-policy chief Javier Solana, who is making his
own tour of the region in an attempt to turn twin ceasefire
declarations from Hamas and Israel into a longer-term peace.
On Tuesday morning, one Israeli soldier was killed by a bomb blast
near the Gaza border. Israeli troops fired at nearby houses, killing a Palestinian farmer.
The US envoy will meet with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul
Gheit later on Tuesday night, and will meet with Egyptian President
Hosny Mubarak on Wednesday morning, before traveling to Israel and
the West Bank for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
He is then expected to continue to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Britain,
and France.
