Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan arrived in Cairo Tuesday evening for talks with his Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Maher and Arab League chief Amr Moussa.
Describing Tang's visit as "very important," Maher said earlier Tuesday that both sides will discuss the latest developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, bilateral relations and anti- terrorism issues.
Referring to his scheduled talks with Tang on Wednesday, Moussa said on Tuesday that they will exchange views on the current situation in the Middle East and recent developments in Afghanistan.
