Britain's Prince in Saudi Arabia

Britain's Prince Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, was in Saudi Arabia on Monday to reinforce longstanding ties between the kingdoms, the British embassy said. The visit came at the request of the British government and would focus on "co-operation and partnership in a number of fields," including provision of healthcare, vocational education and entrepreneurship, the embassy official told AFP.
Prince Andrew also visited the Saudi stock exchange, the Arab world's biggest bourse, the embassy said. He "exchanged cordial talks and discussed issues of common interest" with Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince Moqren bin Abdul Aziz, the Saudi Press Agency said, without elaborating.
