An Arab League delegation led by King Hassan of Morocco assembled Thursday to discuss Mideast peace proposals with President Reagan and other American officials.

The six-nation delegation will explain proposals put forward by last month's Arab League summit meeting in Fez, Morocco, and hear firsthand Mr. Reagan's peace plan.

In a separate meeting, Secretary of State George Shultz talked with Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir as part of a series of meetings to discuss peace plans for the Middle East. Israel has rejected both the Arab League's and President Reagan's peace plans.
