RIYADH: Shoura Council Speaker Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Asheikh on Wednesday received the Cuban Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Vladimir Andres Gonzalez Quesada at the advisory body’s headquarters in Riyadh.
Al-Asheikh pointed out the importance of strengthening communication links between the two countries in all fields especially those involving the parliamentary friendship committees of the council and the National Assembly of People’s Power (legislative parliament) in Cuba.
The reception was also attended by Dr. Ibrahim bin Mahmoud Al-Nahhas, a member of the Shoura Council and chairman of its Saudi-Cuban parliamentary friendship committee.
In February, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir met the Cuban envoy in Riyadh and discussed bilateral relations between the two countries, a subject highlighted by Al-Nahhas during the committee’s January meeting.
