fledged participation in the society, Crown Prince Sultan noted that what others demanding the Kingdom to do today has started to be done in super countries in 50 to 60 years after independence. Today, the age of the Kingdom is some 70 years, which, he said, started from nothing. He cited that the Kingdom took many years to politically stabilize, exploit oil, and start building the economic, legal and social infrastructure. However, the Saudi people is now among the best and the most stable, developed and growing in the world, he said, adding that he invites the interviewer, a female, for a visit to Saudi Arabia and watch by her own eyes, meet with her Saudi colleagues and see the Saudi markets and psychological stability. In response to a question whether U.S. President George W. Bush's remarks that he was planning to interfere in the Middle East democratization has mounted pressure on the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Sultan expressed belief that the Saudi U.S. relations were not that between a sponsor and his subordinate. No, they are on equal terms relations and based on fruitful dealing to build the Saudi citizen by his Saudi leadership under the Islamic Sharia, he explained, adding that whatever reported that President Bush or other has views against Saudi Arabia is not correct. He accused some parties of trying to wedge differences between Saudi Arabia and super countries, including the U.S. He said Saudi Arabia remains indifferent towards such reports. --More 22 05 Local Time 19 05 GMT
