Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday had phone talks with Libyan leader Omar Muammar Ghaddai on Mideast issues, the official MENA news agency reported.

During the phone conversation, the two leaders "exchanged views on a number of Arab and regional issues in light of the current world changes with emphasis on the issues of Palestine and Iraq," MENA said, without elaborating.

On Oct. 24, Libya informed the Arab League of its intention to quit the group due to its inefficiency in dealing with Arab issues,especially the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and Iraqi crisis.

"Why should we remain as a member of an ineffective organization," Ghaddafi said, calling for an Arab policy of common defense and economic unity.

The drama on Libya's likely withdrawal from the league came to an end last month when Arab League chief Amr Moussa announced that Libya, one of the oldest member state, will not quit the league.
