While in Cairo from 4-6 May, Dr Tan and Dr Yaacob are scheduled to meet senior Egyptian officials including Prime Minister Dr Ahmed Nazif, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Dr Ali Gomaa, and the Grand Sheik of Al-Azhar, Mohamed Tantawi.
In Turkey from 7-10 May, the ministers will visit Istanbul and Ankara, call on senior government and religious leaders, and hold discussions with leading officials and intellectuals.
