| Saudi Arabia supports US President’s Middle East speech |
| 2002-06-27 |
| Saudi Arabia expressed on Wednesday its support for US President George W. Bush’s Middle East speech, saying it included a number of positive elements. During a joint press conference with visiting French foreign minister Dominique de Villepin, Prince Saud said, "Bush's recent address on the Middle East peace process has a number of positive elements, notably an unequivocal US commitment to finding a settlement to the middle east problem." Prince Saud said that Riyadh has been closely following the initiative announced by President Bush in his latest address and closely watching the responses it has evoked, especially those of the Palestinian leadership. Why does that endorsement make the space between my shoulder blades itch? |
