UN chief to visit Cairo, discuss intel support for Egypt
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 20 - 03 - 2011

UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon will arrive in Cairo on Sunday for a two-day visit. This is his first since the mass pro-democracy protests that led to the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak.
On Monday, Ban will hold discussions on how the UN can support Egypt in the upcoming period, according to Khawla Matar, director of the organization's media bureau in Cairo.
Matar said that on the same day Ban will also meet with the head of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi; the head of the interim government, Essam Sharaf; his deputy, Yehia al-Gamal; and foreign minister Nabil al-Arabi. She added that Ban will ask to be informed about Egyptians' current expectations of the UN.
The UN official suggested that the support the organization can offer Egypt includes assistance in restructuring ministries to eradicate corruption, and in improving the capabilities of security apparatuses to respect human rights. Discussions will also tackle UN assistance in legislative issues, social security and the integration of women in community.
The talks will handle the application of a UN resolution to impose a no-fly zone on Libya, Matar revealed.
In addition, Ban will meet the general-secretary of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, to discuss the situation in the Middle East, especially the current crisis in Libya in light of the current implementation of a no-fly zone.
