Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz highlights the anniversary of the

At the international level, the Kingdom enjoys respect and
appreciation. We can cite the selection of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia as the sole representative of its region in the G-20th group's
two meetings in the U.S. and Britain.

This is an evidence of the high
profile of the Kingdom’s status in the world. Of course, all
participants in those conferences were selected for their economic
and political status. Here, there is no courtesy at all. Not only
that, but the Kingdom's contribution to this group might be the most
prominent. Of course, this is a great achievement which boosted the
Kingdom’s profile at the international platforms and made the world
explore our views. For instance, we could notice intensive visits of
world leaders to the Kingdom seeking to know the Kingdom's views. Let
us cite the most recent visit of the U.S. president who frankly said
" I have come here to know and get-acquainted with the ideas and
instructions of King Abdullah about what should be done". When we
monitor the U.S. tour of several countries in the region, we find
that he started with the Kingdom, a matter which reflects the role of
the Kingdom. Countries like the United States is known to have been
serious and objective when dealing with international politics. If it
were not for the Kingdom’s positive role, the U.S. President could
not have found himself saying that the Kingdom is not just an oil
producer but it has a political leadership, approach and status. This
is the fact. The Kingdom receives respect from all over the world and
all countries are seeking cooperation with the Kingdom. Our relations
with the countries of the world, east and west, are balanced and on
equal footing. We thank Allah Almighty and to the prudence of our
leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Otherwise, this
would have not been achieved.
