Prince Abdallah to begin European and Asian tour

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdallah Bin Abdul Aziz will start his European and Asian tour on Saturday.

Saudi sources said today that Crown Prince Abdallah will divide his tour into two stages. The first Western stage includes Britain, France, and the U.S.A, and the second Eastern tour includes Pakistan, China, Japan, and Korea. The two tours will be separated by rest he will spend outside Saudi Arabia.

Prince Abdallah will begin his tour by visiting London on September 12, moving on to Paris on September 16, and finally to Washington on September 19.

The sources added that talks with these countries will tackle the mutual investment and its development considering it one of the most important issues in Saudi Arabia's current economic efforts to vary its sources of income.
