Riyadh On his part, Reid said his visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia embodies the existing strong relations between the two countries. He noted that it would be possible to learn lessons from the strength demonstrated by Saudi Arabia in resisting terrorism. Reid pointed out that no agreements had been concluded with Saudi Arabia, adding that 'in the past years Britain and Saudi Arabia had exchanged not only technology but also expertise as well as engaged in investments'. "In my capacity as a new defense minister, I feel happy when I meet with a defense minister who has a rich experience as well as wisdom, and I am hopeful to benefit from the experience and wisdom of prince Sultan," Reid added. The dinner party hosted by Prince Sultan in honor of Reid and the accompanying delegation was attended by Prince Miteb bin Abdulaziz, the Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs as well as other princes and senior officials.--SPA1134 Local Time 0834 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/278771
