WASHINGTON — Kuwait’s prime minister said Wednesday that U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz will make a fifth trip to the Middle East this year to push his plan for Arab-Israeli negotiations.
Sheik Saad al Abdullah al Sabah, who is also the nation’s crown prince and heir apparent, wished Shultz well and joined Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as the only Arab leaders to openly endorse Shultz’s regional peace plan.
State Department spokeswoman Phyllis Oakley said she knows of “no plans” for Shultz to return to the region.
