the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, transformations that have taken place in Saudi Arabia under your wise leadership, have shown that you are dealing from a position of confronting the challenges of the future. I like to offer you, the support and encouragement as regards your follow-up for the manifold efforts to further promote dialogue within the community and bring about openness or in the context of what you have named as a service (to citizens without distinction). You have worked in the context of the National Center for Dialogue, which you established to push forward several important reform projects through which you have taken into account the needs of youth and women. I personally follow, with particular interest, the educational campaign which you had initiated by its announcement. It is of a great appreciation for me to note that the number of universities in your country, has increased over the past three years to more than double. I am convinced that there is no alternative based on the spirit of the mind in the 21st century for education and openness towards the world and towards the mutual respect between cultures." The President, then, wished success for all on this track, expressing his pleasure to the presence of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Germany, and said "I hope that your visit will create new incentives for cooperation based on partnership between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Germany. I am also delighted to look forward to the good talks, which we will have with you ." --MORE
