LIKE COUNTRY RICH OF ITS DIVERSIFIED CULTURAL HERITAGE. ACCORDINGLY, AL-JANADRIYA RESEMBLES AN ANNUAL EVENT FOR THE KINGDOM'S CULTURE AND LEGACY TO BE DEMONSTRATED AND CULTURAL VISIONS AND CONCEPTS AND PROPOSALS TO BE EXCHANGED AND DISCUSSED, HE SAID, ADDING THAT IT IS, THUS, AN OPEN EVENT NOT ONLY FOR THE KINGDOM'S PEOPLE BUT FOR ALL THE WORLD WHEREAS LITERATES AND INTELLECTUALS OF DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF THE WORLD WERE HOSTED TO FURTHER ENRICH THE WORLD CULTURE. THE KING DISCLOSED THAT THIS YEAR "WE ARE GEARING FORWARD TO SEE A NUMBER OF RUSSIAN INTELLECTUALS AND THE TALENTED AMONG THE GUESTS OF JANADRIYA FESTIVAL". ASKED ABOUT THE POSITION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM TOWARDS WOMEN DRIVING OF VEHICLES SIMILAR TO OTHER GULF COUNTRIES, THE KING SAID THIS MATTER COULD BE CONSIDERED A SOCIAL DECISION AS THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT IS TO PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENT THAT MATCHES WITH THE ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW AND ITS INSTRUCTIONS ON WHICH THE GOVERNMENT IS BASED. HE CITED THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN CREATING THE APPROPRIATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE SAUDI WOMAN TO BECOME DOCTOR, ENGINEER, TEACHER, BUSINESSWOMAN, UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR, PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SECTOR OFFICIAL. ASKED ABOUT THE ARAB FOOD AND HIS FAVORITES, THE KING SAID THE FOOD HABITS OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLES WERE IMPOSED BY ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THOSE PEOPLES, AS IS THE CASE FOR THE ARAB GULF PEOPLE. BUT I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW WHETHER YOU LIKE THE SAUDI MENU, NOTING THAT THE KINGDOM'S REGIONS HAVE EACH ITS OWN TASTE AND VARIETIES. --MORE
