A number of officials and members of Britain's House of Commons and House of Lords have stressed that the bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and Britain have been strong and distinguished in several areas including educational, scientific and youth affairs. They commended the recent visit paid by the Speaker of Majlis Al-Shura Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al Al-Sheikh and the accompanying official delegation to the United Kingdom. The Foreign Office Minister for Middle East and North Africa Alistair Burt said, "Relations between the two countries have been excellent. I think that more communication between members of the British Parliament and Majlis Al-Shura is important because we have a lot to discuss. We need to share constantly in understanding about what is happening in the region. Our bilateral relations are strong." --MORE 15:33 LOCAL TIME 12:33 GMT تغريد
