Chinese, Saudis ink security pact
RIYADH - CHINA and Saudi Arabia have agreed to set up a joint security commission, in the latest sign of growing ties between the two countries, the kingdom's official SPA news agency reported on Monday.
Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu and his counterpart Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz signed a letter of intent late on Sunday on security training and exchanges.
They also agreed to form a joint body of 'high-level security officials' to boost cooperation in the field, SPA said.
Mr Meng and a large entourage of senior Chinese security and counter-terror officials met with King Abdullah, Prince Nayef and other senior Saudi officials on Sunday on the second of a three-day trip to Saudi Arabia.
Earlier, Mr Meng visited the Nayef Arab University for Security Sciences for talks on cooperation with Chinese institutes, and he was scheduled on Monday to hold talks with Saudi intelligence chief Prince Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz.
The visit underscored the improvement in political and economic relations between the two countries since Mr Abdullah became king in August 2005. -- AFP
