Khatami Hopes to Visit Egypt: Report

Iranian President Mohammad Khatami has expressed hope that he could visit Egypt to meet with his Egyptian counterpart Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's pro-government Al Ahram daily reported on Tuesday.

Khatami voiced his intention during a meeting with Egyptian Prime Minister Atef Obeid on the sidelines of the ninth summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which concluded on Monday in the Qatari capital of Doha.

Iran and Egypt have "historic, stable, good and deeply-rooted ties," the Iranian president was quoted as saying as saying by the Arabic-language newspaper.

Iran hopes that "the current good will" cherished by the two sides will help promote bilateral and regional cooperation, Khatami said.

He added that as two major countries in the Islamic world, Iran and Egypt need to maintain good ties.

Tehran severed diplomatic relations with Cairo after Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. But the joint efforts exerted by the two countries have significantly improved their ties in recent years.
