Egypt’s Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad conferred with his Italian counterpart, Aldo Moro today. Riad’s visit to Rome has been described by observers as part of Egypt’s latest diplomatic offensive to promote its views on the Middle East conflict in world capitals. A joint communique said that Riad outlined his country’s position on the Jarring talks and reiterated Egypt’s insistance that Israel withdraw from all occupied Arab territories. He told the Italian Foreign Minister that Egypt would accept a Four Power military force to guard its borders with Israel once peace has been achieved. Moro restated Italy’s position that peace must come from negotiations based on Res. 242.
