Dr. Jones added "the United States can not make peace alone, it needs strong friends. And despite the many difficulties facing the region, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz accomplished much and among these accomplishments is combating terrorism".
He said "it is very important to begin to resolve the very long-standing issue of the Middle East peace. And many of the people in the world rely on King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and they are optimistic about his approaches and strategies".
