 Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said here yesterday that the Kingdom was seeking UN endorsement of its proposal for an international center to combat terrorism. âSaudi Arabia has presented a proposal to the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and governments who participated in the international anti-terrorism conference held in Riyadh last February calling for the General Assembly to issue a resolution endorsing the Riyadh Declaration,â Prince Saud said.
| That's kinda like putting the John Calvin Appreciation Center in the Vatican... |
The resolution would adopt the recommendations made by the conference, chiefly the proposal by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah who was then crown prince to set up an international center to combat terrorism, he said. Prince Saudâs remarks came ahead of the annual session of the UN General Assembly in New York next week. Crown Prince Sultan will leave for New York today at the head of a high-level Saudi delegation to attend the UN session, the Royal Court announced yesterday. |
