French foreign minister visits Riyadh

French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine arrived today in Riyadh on an official visit to Saudi Arabia, his second to Riyadh since he took office.

Vedrine is to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz, Pince Saud al-Faisal and King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz.

A Saudi source in Cairo told ArabicNews.com that the economic developments that have taken place in Saudi Arabia will be discussed, especially in the field of liberating the economy, adding that the subject of Iraq will be on top of the political talks that will be held by the French official with the Saudi ones.

The sources added that Vedrine intends to explain the French stance in detail to avoid any misunderstanding of it by others.
