Years: 1977 - 1977

Economic and social development continues in Sa'udi Arabia at an extremely brisk pace, revolutionizing the infrastructure and educational system of the country.

Fahd, a consistent advocate of modernization, establishes a corps of Western-trained technicians to oversee the country's industrial diversification.

Fahd travels extensively as a spokesman for the Arab world, and, in a highly publicized trip to the United States in 1977, meets with President Jimmy Carter to discuss peace in the Middle East and the Palestinian problem.
