Blair to visit Saudi Arabia

The Saudi daily al-Watan said in its Saturday's issue that the British prime minister Tony Blair will pay a visit to Saudi Arabia before the end of the current week.

The paper added quoting diplomatic sources in London that Blair's talks with the Saudi officials will concentrate on developments relating to Afghanistan as well as the international cooperation to fighting terrorism.

Worthy mentioning that the Saudi papers had stated that the Saudi officials had asked Blair to postpone his visit to al-Riyadh during the tour Blair made on several countries of the region just three weeks ago.
