Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan is due in Paris for an official three day visit the last week in October. He will meet with President Valery Giscard d’Estaing and confer with Foreign Minister Louis de Guiringaud. Dayan will arrive in Paris from New York where he is scheduled to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
The French government hopes that the talks with Dayan will help settle the political differences with Israeli Premier Menachem Begin’s own official visit to trance, which has not yet been set. French sources say that the Premier’s visit to France will rank high on the agenda of the Dayan-Guiringaud talks.
France invited Israeli premier Yitzhak Rabin shortly after his election. The Begin visit was delayed and then postponed because of Israel’s dissatisfaction with the Final communique to be issued at the conclusion of Begin’s stay. The French hope to overcome these obstacles during Dayan’s visit and fix a definite date for Begin’s arrival in France.
