Moscow Hosts Conference Washington (JTA) — The United States and Soviet Union have invited foreign ministers from Middle East nations and "other inter- ested parties" to come to Moscow next month for multilateral negotiations on regional issues. State Department spokes- woman Margaret Tutwiler said that the two host coun- tries are hoping for "the widest possible participa- tion" at the talks, which are scheduled for Jan. 28 to 29. The multilateral talks are the third stage of the peace process that began in Madrid on Oct. 3. The second stage, bilateral talks, which also began in Madrid, was scheduled to resume in Washington on Wednesday. Nevertheless, Ms. Tut- wiler said that three separate sites in a complex of government buildings will open for Israeli negotiations with Syria, Lebanon and a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation. She said the sites will re- main open as long as the parties want to use them. Israel had requested separate sites for the three sets of negotiations, so as not to give the impression that they were part of a single conference. The multilateral talks were originally envisioned as having the parties to the bilateral talks meet to discuss common problems, such as water, arms control, the environment and refu- gee resettlement. But the Bush administra- tion has sought to expand the participation — both in the region, to include the Persian Gulf states and the Arab North African coun- tries, and outside, to include the European Community, Japan and Canada. Although Israel has ex- pressed concern about the expansion of the talks, the United States is seeking the widest possible participation because it hopes that other countries will share the fi- nancial burden. Ms. Tutwiler said that no invitations have been offi- cially sent out, but the Moscow meeting is open to all. Syria had announced earlier that it would not at- tend the multilateral con- ference until Israel agreed to withdraw from the Golan Heights. But Syria failed to convince other Arab coun- tries to join its rejection. You think your work is important. Our furniture agrees with you.
