Powell: relations with Saudi Arabia are good

The US Secretary of State Colin Powell has described the relations with Saudi Arabia as good, denying news published by the Washington Post on the intent of the US administration to take unilateral measures against the Saudis.

Powell said on Tuesday that the US should not go in its concerns and desire to protect itself to the extent of severing relations with a country which is a good friend for the USA for many years and is also a strategic partner.
