"Reading books about China and visiting China gave me an idea about the generosity and friendliness of its people, however my expectations were much lower than what I found in reality," Yahya A Al-Zaid, ambassador of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia, said in a recent interview with China Daily.
After his arrival in Beijing in April, the ambassador said that he was impressed by Chinese harmonious and collective effort handling Sichuan's May 12 earthquake and the successful hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing.
He was also optimistic about Sino-Saudi Arabian relations. "I want to stay in China as long as I accomplish objectives; as long as I see the bilateral relationships grow stronger and stronger."
