Prince Turki hoped that the festival will grow to be an international event. He said visitors from some Gulf countries and Egypt are also participating in contests and sports events organized as part of the festival. He also viewed the presence of French Consul General Louis Blaine as a sign of growing interest in the outside world about the festival. Attempts are being made to promote the event in Europe and America through various forms of media channels, he said. “I am pleased to participate in the 10th Al-Hareed fish festival,” the French Consul General said in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency yesterday.
