Saudi Arabia: Khalid Bin Bandar defends MBS

Saudi ambassador to Germany Prince Khalid Bin Bandar Bin Sultan has told his hosts that Riyadh would like a more diplomatic approach from Berlin in the future, following a damaging dispute earlier in the year. Prince Khalid only recently returned to his posting in Berlin after Germany had apologised for past “misunderstandings”. In an interview published in the weekly Welt am Sonntag on 11 November, the prince said he wanted his hosts to “call us up and ask before you speak out in public.”
