  • Story Text: SHEIK ABDUL RAHMAN KHAIL, SAUDI ARABIA'S MINISTER OF WORKS AND SOCIAL WELFARE, COMPLETED HIS 'GOODWILL' TOUR OF NIGER ON FEBRUARY 27TH. THE PREVIOUS DAY, HE AND A PARTY OF DELEGATES ENDED A THREE-DAY UPCOUNTRY VISIT TO NIAMEY WITH A TOUR OF THE N'DUNGA SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE.

    DURING THE COURSE OF HIS SIX-DAY VISIT TO NIGER, SHEIK ABDUL RAHMAN HAS SHOWN A CONSTANT INTEREST IN ALL THE ECONOMIC, INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL PROBLEMS OF THIS MOSLEM COUNTRY, AN INTEREST WHICH UNDERLINES THE GEOGRAPHICAL SIMILARITY BETWEEN NIGER AND SAUDI ARABIA.

    THE SHEIKH LEFT AFTER FINAL TALKS WITH NIGER PRESIDENT HAMANI DIORI. HE TOOK WITH HIM AN INVITATION FROM PRESIDENT DIORI TO KING FAISAL OF SAUDI ARABIA TO VISIT NIGER. THE SHEIKH FELT THAT THE KING MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT THIS SECOND INVITATION WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.
