Do you welcome more Saudi students into the US?

Will they help to foster/promote US-Saudi relations and understanding?

What do you think may be the reason for Prince Turki visiting Arizona and Texas (The American Southwest)?

Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Turki Al-Faisal visited Texas and Arizona during a two-day tour of the American Southwest, February 7-8, to meet with Americans and discuss the Saudi/U.S. relationship. He spoke to several groups in the cities of Dallas, Houston, and Phoenix. Prince Turki provided updates about ongoing changes in the Kingdom, including its recent accession to the World Trade Organization, the formation of municipal councils, and Saudi Arabia’s student scholarship program.

Speaking before a gathering of the Houston World Affairs Council and the Bilateral US-Arab Chamber of Commerce, Prince Turki remarked:

“The Saudi government is promoting a scholarship program to send Saudi students to attend colleges and universities abroad. In the first phase, the Kingdom has offered 10,000 students full four-year scholarships. Most of them will come to the U.S. In fact, there are already 232 Saudi students currently enrolled in the program who will be coming to Texas for their education.

“The Saudi people have a lot to offer the world community. Through improved education and exposure to the world at large, we hope to facilitate continued, mutually beneficial international relations.”
