Envoys from the United States, Russia, the European Union (EU) and the United Nations, which are billed as the Middle East "quartet," will meet in London next week to discuss a new Middle East peace plan put forward by President George W. Bush earlier this week, the U.S. State Department announced Friday.

"They will review steps to support and implement the president' s vision for progress on security, institution-building and reform, economic reconstruction and resumption of an Israeli-Palestinian dialogue," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told a news briefing.

Boucher said the meeting, scheduled for next Tuesday, will be attended by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State William Burns, Russian Middle East Envoy Andrei Vdovin, Miguel Moratinos from the EU, and Terje Roed-Larsen, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's special representative for the Middle East.

The "quartet" envoys met on June 14 in Washington before Bush unveiled his peace plan on Monday.
