Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol is scheduled to arrive here on March 24 for what is officially described as a private visit but one in which he will meet with Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart and other members of the Government, it was reported here today.
Foreign Office circles here said today that there are no outstanding or urgent questions between the two countries to be solved during Mr. Eshkol’s visit, and the talks are bound to cover a wide field including such issues as peace in the Middle East and the Jordan River water dispute, as well as arms supplies and economic and financial problems.
(Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir, meanwhile, is due to leave tomorrow for Paris, where she will meet with French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville. While the talks will be devoted to Israel’s relations with the European Economic Community, it is also assumed that the current Middle East developments may be taken up, Mrs. Meir will seek French support for Israel’s objection to proposed protective treatment for North African citrus exports, which pose a serious threat to Israel’s exports of the fruit. She is due to remain in Paris several days, and then return to Israel.)
