Then, the President of Cairo University Dr. Jaber Al-Nassar, delivered a speech in which he said the founders of the University of Fuad the Ist have, since its starting in early 20th century, managed to award honorary doctorate degrees to social pioneers and figures who enrich their societies and lead them towards civilization, making progress for their citizens and defending their nations, their pride, and dignity. He added that, in the light of these guides, the Senate of Cairo University has decided to award the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud an honorary doctorate degree, in recognition of his deeds in the service of the holy mosques, his nation and the Arab and Islamic worlds, particularly his dedication to improve the living conditions of his people and defend the cause of his brothers in the neighboring countries as well as humanity at large. -- More 14:48 LOCAL TIME 11:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
