Prince Saud, Hashimoto to Chair Japan-Arab Dialogue
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 02 - 01 - 2005

Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal will co-chair the next round of Japan-Arab Dialogue together with Ryutaro Hashimoto, former prime minister of Japan, here on Saturday.
The two-day trilateral dialogue in which senior Egyptian officials will also participate, seeks to strengthen the Arab-Japan joint partnership for development purposes and search the modalities of intensive cooperation amid drastic changes taking place in the Arab world.
This was revealed by Japanese Ambassador Yasuo Saito here yesterday. Saito was speaking at a farewell function organized in honor of a group of Saudi Ministry of Education officials who are scheduled to leave for Tokyo on Jan. 9 to attend a 40-day curricula development training program.
Referring to the composite dialogue in which Saudi, Japanese and Egyptian officials will participate, the ambassador said: "This dialogue, which started 15 months ago in Tokyo, will cover the whole gamut of political, economic and social issues."
From the Saudi side, the talks will also be attended by Khaled bin Muhammad Al-Gosaibi, minister of economy and planning, and Dr. Hashim Yamani, minister of commerce and industry.
"The post-war Iraq with special reference to the role of international community and the Middle East peace process will top the agenda of the talks," Arab News quoted Japanese officials as saying.
The dialogue will focus on the long-term political, economic and social stability in the Arab world where as many as 80 million jobs will have to be created in the next 15 years.
