Honorary degree at UUJ for Saudi prince
SAUDI Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud has received an honorary degree from the University of Ulster at Jordanstown.
The prince told an audience, including Employment and Learning Minister Sir Reg Empey and former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, that education has a key role in conflict resolution.
The Prince, who is a nephew of King Abdullah, received a Honorary Doctor of Laws (LLD) for his services to diplomatic and international relations, in particular his efforts to foster better relations between the West and Saudi Arabia, at a special ceremony in Jordanstown,
He said he felt privileged to be awarded the accolade from an institution that “has established itself as one of the leading universities in this country, if not the world.”
