n the course of his long reign, King Abdul Aziz gave studious attention to the development of international relations. In 1945 (1364/65 AH), on board the U.S.S. Quincy, the Saudi king met the U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. (It was at that famous meeting that the American President gave his undertaking to the Saudi king that Arab interests in Palestine would not be sacrificed to Jewish aspirations for nationhood. See Chapter 18, Section 3.) Also in 1945 (1364/65 AH), King Abdul Aziz met the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. The economic and technical co-operation which exploitation of the Kingdom's oil demanded and a community of political interest in many areas ensured that the friendship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, initiated by King Abdul Aziz, was to grow in succeeding decades. Despite political differences in some areas, notably on the issue of Palestinian rights, that special relationship still survives and flourishes today. ========================================================== Sure.
