HUSSEIN ARRIVES IN EGYPT. Cairo. King Hussein of Jordan has arrived in Alexandria for talks with President Anwar Sadat, which are believed to be about the possibility of bringing about reconciliation between Jordan and the Guerrilla Movement. The visit is the first by the monarch to Egypt since just before the Arab-Israeli war broke out last October. Sadat waited for the sovereign at the air base, greeting him with a 21-gun salute and a guard of honour. Sadat and Hussein, with their large entourage, then flew by helicopter to Alexandria, the site of talks for the next three days. The purpose of the royal visit is also to coordinate the policies of the Arab states with a view to the Middle East peace conference, which is expected to resume in October. Egypt has invited Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to Egypt for talks at the end of Hussein’s visit. Syrian President Hafez Assad is also due to visit Egypt in the coming days. The main issue between Hussein and the Palestinians is over the future of the West Bank of the Jordan River. Palestinian leaders claim the territory as the core of a possible Palestinian state, but Hussein hopes to win it back for Jordan. Later, Hussein is expected to allow a plebiscite to be held there, so that the Palestinian population can decide on its political future.
