CAIRO- The Egyptian Foreign Ministry Wednesday summoned the Iranian Charge d's Affaires in Cairo to clarify remarks attributed to Iran's Foreign Minister Egyptian Manouchehr Mottaki in which he described Arab leaders' participation in Washington's relaunch of direct Palestinian-Israeli talks as treason. The Foreign Ministry informed the Iranian diplomat that a visit, which was due by Mottaki to Cairo on September, has been delayed, The Gazette Online has learnt. Mottaki was due to visit Cairo on September 5 to attend meetings of the Non-Aligned Movement. Currently Iran, Egypt and Cuba are members of the NAM troika. The troika meeting is expected to be held on the sidelines of the General Assembly gathering in New York later this month. Diplomatic ties have been cut between Cairo and Tehran since 1979 when Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel. Recent attempts to mend their relations have failed.
