RIYADH: Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed bin Abdulkarim Al-Khuraiji on Wednesday held a series of meetings in Riyadh with foreign ambassadors to the Kingdom.

The envoys were Chen Weiqing from China, Mohammed Javed Patwary from Bangladesh, Abdul Sattar Al-Janabi from Iraq and Juraj Koudelka from the Czech Republic.

The officials discussed ways to enhance bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and their respective countries as well as other issues of common interest.

Also on Wednesday, Al-Khuraiji met fellow Saudi Hani Al-Muqbel, who is the chairman of the executive council of the Tunis-based Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization. The two men discussed a range of topics of common interest.
