Saudi Arabia Establishes Diplomatic Ties with Andorra

United Nations, March 20, SPA--Saudi Arabia on Thursday established
diplomatic ties with the principality of Andorra in a signing
ceremony that took place at the Kingdom’s United Nations mission in
New York.

The signing ceremony was attended by Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the
United Nations Khalid Al Nafisee and Andorra’s U.N. Envoy Carlos Font
Rossell.

This is the third such diplomatic agreement that Saudi Arabia has
signed in recent weeks following the signing of agreements with
Ecuador and Dominica.

Andorra is a tiny principality sandwiched between France and Spain
and is the most popular ski resort in the Pyrenees. It has a
population of some 80,000 and is 480 square miles in size.

During the ceremony, the two ambassadors spoke about the global
financial crisis and shared stories of their respective nations’
histories.
