The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia yesterday told journalists that he would try his best to pursue the Saudi King and the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, Abdallah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud to visit Bangladesh, if the post election government invites him.

The Saudi Ambassador to Bangladesh, Dr Abdullah bin Naser Al-Bosairi, was talking to senior journalists after an iftar party hosted by him at his residence at Gulshan in the city.

Asked whether he has any plan to invite country's two top political leaders-Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina-to a party or function, Dr Abdullah said he could invite them on any occasion.

The Saudi envoy, on behalf of the Saudi government and people, greeted the Bangladeshi people before the National Day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on September 23.

He said that the people of Saudi Arabia have respect for the Bangladeshi people. Two million Bangladeshis working in Saudi Arabia bear testimony to the fact.
