They are preparing a discussion plan for an Arab leaders' meeting planned to open September 6 in Fez. Morocco's King Haasan opened the ministers' meeting last night. He urged them not to discuss problems which divide Arab countries. The Moroccan leader said the ministers instead should work on matters on which they agree.
