SUBJECT: The prospects for national dialogue.

SIGNIFICANCE: The ruling General People's Congress and a group of opposition parties and organisations agreed on July 17 to enter a 'national dialogue' to resolve their differences, possibly leading to a coalition government. Success could lead to crucial progress on political and economic reform and national reconciliation; failure will bring the opposite.
