Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Saudi Foreign Minister, on Thursday stressed the need to reform. Lecturing in Belgium in response to an invitation from Brussels-based Center of European Political Studies, Prince Saud said efforts
should be exerted to facilitate the process of re-formulating the economic system and improving management, adding that Islam could play a crucial role as regards coherence of the society.
"We are in need of a comprehensive reform program characterized with political, legal, administrative, economic and educational components", Saudi Arabia's top diplomat said, adding "despite the need of the Arab world to a such reform, yet the reform can never be imposed from outside."
According to SPA, he pointed out that the settlement of the Arab-Israeli dispute on the base of establishment of two countries constitutes a practical and realistic solution.
