A three-way summit which groups leaders of Libya, Egypt and Chad is scheduled to be held at the Libyan capital of Tripoli later on Tuesday, the main agenda will be on the issues of Sudan's Darfur and the relations between Sudan and Chad, the Egyptian official MENA news agency reported.

The tripartite meeting will be attended by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Chadian President Idriss Deby, Egyptian Presidential Spokesman Suleiman Awad was quoted as saying.

The spokesman said that Chad and Sudan will intensify their coordination to get rebels in Darfur to join the Abuja peace agreement to help resume peace in the war-torn western Sudanese region.

The Darfur Peace Agreement was signed between the Sudanese government and a main rebel faction in the Nigerian capital of Abuja in last May.

In addition, the relations between Sudan and its neighbor Chad is also high on the agenda of the meeting. Chad and Sudan have long traded accusations of backing each other's rebel groups and witnessed a border clash along the western Sudanese region of Darfur last month.

On April 9, Sudan announced that its army thwarted a cross- border assault by Chadian troops in Darfur and repulsed the attackers.

Initially denying its troops crossed into Sudan, the Chadian government apologized on April 14 for the border clash erupted inside Sudan, which killed 17 Sudanese soldiers and wounded 40 others.

At a meeting brokered by Saudi Arabia on May 3, Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir and his Chadian counterpart Idriss Deby signed a reconciliation deal, which stipulates respects for each other's territorial integrity, not to support opposition forces in the other country.
