Fischer postpones visit to Saudi Arabia

The visit of the German foreign minister Yushka Fischer to Saudi Arabia, due to be held this week within a tour covering other six states in the region, was postponed.

A source at the German embassy in al-Riyadh said that the current tour of the German foreign minister which starts today ( Monday) was decided to be limited to Egypt, the Palestinian Authority and Israel due to very important missions of Minister Fischer at the German parliament and the Cabinet, besides the unstable situation in Macedonia.
