20th group's two meetings in the U.S. and Britain. This is an evidence of the high profile of the Kingdom's status in the world. Of course, all participants in those conferences were selected for their economic and political status. Here, there is no courtesy at all. Not only that, but the Kingdom's contribution to this group might be the most prominent. Of course, this is a great achievement which boosted the Kingdom's profile at the international platforms and made the world explore our views. For instance, we could notice intensive visits of world leaders to the Kingdom seeking to know the Kingdom's views. Let us cite the most recent visit of the U.S. president who frankly said " I have come here to know and get-acquainted with the ideas and instructions of King Abdullah about what should be done". When we monitor the U.S. tour of several countries in the region, we find that he started with the Kingdom, a matter which reflects the role of the Kingdom. Countries like the United States is known to have been serious and objective when dealing with international politics. If it were not for the Kingdom's positive role, the U.S. President could not have found himself saying that the Kingdom is not just an oil producer but it has a political leadership, approach and status. This is the fact. The Kingdom receives respect from all over the world and all countries are seeking cooperation with the Kingdom. Our relations with the countries of the world, east and west, are balanced and on equal footing. We thank Allah Almighty and to the prudence of our leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Otherwise, this would have not been achieved.
