Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Thursday expressed his interest to participate in the upcoming Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) summit, Egyptian presidential spokesman Suleiman Awad said.
Mubarak said he would participate in the OIC summit to be held in the Senegalese capital of Dakar on March 13-14 "if time permits," Awad was quoted by the Egyptian MENA news agency as saying after the talks between Mubarak and his visiting Senegalese counterpart Abdoulaye Wade.
During the talks, the two leaders discussed ongoing preparations for the OIC summit and bilateral relations between Egypt and Senegal, as well as the latest developments in the Middle East region and Chad.
The Senegalese president, who arrived here Wednesday night, is touring a number of Islamic countries to discuss the OIC summit's arrangements.
The summit is expected to take up progress on the implementation of the OIC's 10-year program of action and means of promoting economic cooperation and trade exchange among the OIC member states, according to MENA.
