Dr. Khalid Al-Anqari, Minister of Higher Education, today lauded the issuance of the first edition of Saudi Arabia Encyclopedia, describing it as the first comprehensive work to introduce the homeland of the two holy mosques and highlight its developmental march from the beginning to date. In a statement to mark the event, Al-Anqari said Arab library was really waiting for this work to enrich it with accurate information covering all historical, geographical, education, economic and cultural fields for its readers and researchers. Not only Arab readers and researchers but those in friendly and foreign countries also need to have correct profile of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to replace the forged one they usually have to deal with, he said. This giant project is yet another cultural addition to the Saudi achievements under the prudent leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
