The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and as far as I know all Arab countries, does not set its policies

based on the interests of others, it sets its policies based on its own interests. And we will

continue to pursue our interests, and we will keep shaping our policies based on those

interests, regardless of differing viewpoints. At the same time, we will remain open

to dialogue with all our partners, west and east, to ensure there is full

understanding of what we are doing, and to ensure there is also an effort to achieve these mutual benefits.

Mutual benefits are not only between us and China, but between us and America,

and between us and others. We pursue our interests, and we find our interests in the West and we find them

in the East, and wherever we find them, we will work to achieve them.
