Palestinian President Yasser Arafat called on President Guido de Marco "to work in the United Nations, Security Council and the international active forces in the world to achieve security, stability and coexistence in a framework of mutual trust and respect" in the Middle East region.
The appeal was included in a message of congratulations sent to Prof. de Marco on the occasion of Freedom Day, which will be celebrated next Monday.
The letter was presented to Prof. de Marco yesterday by Palestinian ambassador Awad Yakhlef.
