A spokesman at the Kingdom's Embassy in Paris confirmed Friday that the visit had been postponed and a new date had not yet been set.
King Abdullah had been scheduled to meet President Nicolas Sarkozy as the two countries look to develop their relationship ahead of France taking over the G20 chairmanship next year. Saudi Arabia is the only Arab member in the bloc of leading economic powers.
Riyadh said on July 5 it was also preparing to sign an agreement on cooperation in civilian nuclear energy during the visit.
Both countries have been in talks for more than one year but have yet to disclose details about the cooperation.
