[01] Egypt's Mubarak receives DM Meimarakis
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Tuesday received visiting Greek
Defense Minister Evangelos Meimarakis in Cairo for talks on issues of
mutual and regional interest -- the latter's last meeting in Egypt
before wrapping up his three-day official visit.
Among the issues discussed was the security situation in the wider
region, ranging from the Middle East, the Balkans, Iran and Iraq.
On his part, Meimarakis noted that Athens and Cairo share similar views
on a number of issues, while adding that the strengthening of bilateral
relations is useful towards the settlement of these issues.
He also stated that bilateral cooperation will be further strengthened
while there will be regular contacts with his Egyptian counterpart.
Meimarakis met with several high-ranking Egyptian officials, members of
the ethnic Greek community in the North African country and also
attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the El Alamein battle site.
