Labor Party leader Shimon Peres is to visit Moscow soon, according to Yediot Achronot. He will be a member of a Socialist International delegation to be headed by Willy Brandt of Germany which will look into problems of disarmament in both Moscow and Washington, the paper said yesterday. Peres returned this week from a Socialist International meeting in Dakar, Senegal, where he held private talks on the Mideast situation with President Leopold Senghor.
Peres reported to his party faction Monday that Senghor’s Socialist Party intends to establish on going relations with Israel’s Labor Party. The first move in this direction, Peres predicted, would be the participation of a Senegalese representative at the forthcoming Hapoel Games. (Senegal cut its diplomatic ties with Israel along with almost all of black Africa in 1973.)
