ˇˇˇˇCAIRO, Nov. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maherwill meet on
Sunday with US Mideast envoy David Satterfield on a roadmap on Mideast peace, the
official MENA news agency reported on Saturday.
ˇˇˇˇDuring the meeting, the two men will discuss the latest Mideast developments,
especially amendments to the roadmap plan floated by the United States
and various parties concerned, MENA said, without elaborating.
ˇˇˇˇSpeaking to reporters on Wednesday, Maher said the roadmap is being
revised, and he was expecting Satterfield will present a new paper that would
contain "new remarks and ideas."
ˇˇˇˇEarlier this week, the US envoy visited Israel and the Palestinian
self-rule areas for talks on the peace plan, which envisages a Palestinian state
with temporary borders by 2003 and a final status agreement between Israel and
the Palestinians by 2005.
ˇˇˇˇThe six-page draft plan worked out by the Quartet Committee, comprising the
United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia, also calls for
comprehensive political and security reforms in the Palestinian National
Authority.
ˇˇˇˇMeanwhile, the plan urges the Palestinians to name a prime minister and
revive security cooperation with Israel. Enditem
