King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz arrives in
Beijing at noon Sunday, kicking off his three-day state visit to China as guest
of President Hu Jintao.
It will be the first ever visit of the Saudi Arabian king to China since the
two countries established their diplomatic relations in 1990.
This will also be the first official visit that the King has ever made to
another country since he came to the throne.
During his stay in Beijing, Chinese President Hu, top legislator Wu Bangguo
and Premier Wen Jiabao will meet or hold talks with him respectively for an
exchange of views on such issues as the further expansion of bilateral
cooperation in energy, economic and trade areas.
