On January 7, 1991 Dr. Salim held a bilateral meeting with President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. Their discussion centered on the Gulf War and the aggressive posture by Iraq as well as other conflicts facing Africa. The excerpt below captures their conversation on the Gulf War. 

"As to be expected under the circumstances, a greater part of our discussion was devoted to the Gulf crisis. And the President spoke with his characteristic candour and openness. (In the process he remarked that as I knew he was not a diplomat and he thus was prepared to call a spade a spade." - Dr. Salim, January 7, 1991
