Danish Foreign Minister Ove Guldberg will make official visits to Egypt and Israel before the year’s end, Danish sources report. The government has officially accepted Egypt’s invitation and Guldberg’s visit there has been confirmed for July 17. He is expected to remain in Egypt for three days where he will confer with his Egyptian counterpart on the Middle East.
Later in the year, probably sometime in the fall, Guldberg will visit Israel. It will be the first time in five years that a Danish Foreign Minister will have paid an official visit to the Jewish State. In 1969, former Foreign Minister Poul Hartling, now Prime Minister, visited Israel.
