Premier Menachem Begin sent a personal message yesterday to Indian Premier Moraj Desai, in which he called on him to lend his support to the Israeli peace agreement with Egypt, it was reported here today.
Explaining to Desai the importance of the agreement, Begin asked the Indian Premier both to support it and to convince other nations of its significance. It was also reported that the Americans are presently in contact with various African nations in an effort to discern whether they are interested in renewing diplomatic relations with Israel. Initial response to that effect is said to have been favorable.
