Presidents Anwar Sadat of Egypt, Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi Vice-President Mahmoud Al-Ayoubi of Syria and Sudanese Assistant Prime Minister Major Zein El Abdin Abdel Kader, have been meeting at Mersa a summer resort close to the Egyptian-Libyan border for the past these days.

They held four-hour discussions ending late last night which was understood to have concentrated mainly n the fresh fighting between Government troops and Palestine guerrillas in North Jordan.

President Sadat contacted Syrian President Hafez Al-Assad by telephone last night, and was believed to have received first-hand new about the latest fighting near the Syrian border.

The aftermath of last Saturday's abortive coup in Morocco has been discussed by the four Arab countries who are allied under the charter. This pledged them to make joint decisions wherever possible.
