RIYADH, 8 February — President Vaclav Havel of the Czech Republic will arrive here on Saturday for a two-day state visit at the invitation of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd.
Czech Ambassador Vaclav Frybert said the 60-member presidential delegation would include ministers, businessmen and journalists. Saudi Arabia is the first leg of Havel’s six-day Gulf tour that will also take him to Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
“I see the visit as a logical culmination of the positive development of relations between the two countries in recent years,” the envoy said.
