Saudi newspapers commented editorially today on a number of topics, affirming that Saudi-American relations are strong and durable. The Makkah-based Al-Nadwa said the Saudi-American relations are deep-rooted and their foundation was laid by the Kingdom's Founder - the late King Abdulaziz during his historical meeting with the then US President Franklin Roosevelt more than six decades ago. The sons of King Abdulaziz followed the footsteps of their great father as regards cementing relations with the US, the daily said. The paper noted that the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz during his visits to Washington has given an additional impetus to these relations. King Abdullah has succeeded in surpassing the era which followed the events of September 11 when certain quarters, exploiting the events, tried to undermine the Saudi-American relations, said the daily, adding that the wisdom of the two leaderships has defeated the anti-media campaigns through partnership strategy embodied by the visits exchanged at all levels. --MORE
