Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, urged Western European leaders to contribute toward peace in the Middle East by helping to secure Israel’s withdrawal from all territories it occupied in 1967 and by supporting Saudi Arabia’s eight-point plan.

Faisal last Thursday addressed 500 delegates to an international business conference at Davos by a two-way television transmission from Riyadh which made questions and answers possible. The conference was chaired by Britain’s former Prime Minister Edward Heath. Faisal stressed that stability in the Middle East was an integral part of stability in Europe.
