Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak met Jordanian King Abdullah II to discuss "certain Arab differences" and efforts to resolve them - a reference to recent tensions between Amman and Damascus.
The two leaders met at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where Mubarak is slated to meet his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday, official sources told AFP.
In comments to the Egyptian weekly Akhbar al-Youm Saturday, Mubarak said the summits were aimed at "sorting out differences" between Syria and Jordan.
A few months ago, the Jordanian government announced the arrest of an undisclosed number of members of Hamas, who it said received orders from a leader based in Syria to carry out attacks on officials in the kingdom. Damascus dismissed the accusations.
At the Red Sea resort, Mubarak and Abdullah also discussed the Palestinian question and how to push forward the inter-Palestinian dialogue.
