Interview with Ambassador Roscoe S.
Suddarth
President, The Middle East Institute
Ambassador Suddarth you are welcome to Jeddah , Saudi Arabia . I did
not think that we are going to meet so soon. I am fortunate
to have this opportunity. Just after we met in your office in Washington I
thought of interviewing you for Al-Madina Newspaper, but I was busy in the
program of USIA. However here are the questions:
Question 1:
The
Media in the Middle East seems to ignore the sincere
efforts that some institutions in the
USA are exerting to present a balanced view on the issues concerning the
Middle East. Would you kindly give the reader of Al-Madinah Newspaper a brief
account of The Middle East Institute?
Question 2 :
Next year will mark the fiftieth anniversary
of the institute .What are your plans to celebrate this occasion?
Question 3:
I learned that one of your future
projects is to look into the Middle East fifty years back, how it was
economically, politically, socially and culturally. Have you selected the
scholars to carry out these studies? If you have done so, have you taken into
consideration the diversity of the background of these scholars?
Question 4:
In
the last few years you have held few conferences on contemporary issues
in the Arab World specially the Islamic Resurgence --termed wrongly --
Fundamentalism-- Some participants seemed to be apathetic with the subject. Do
you plan to invite speakers of different points of vtew?
Question 5:
Would you kindly give the readers an idea about the nature of your visit to
Saudi Arabia and what you plan to accomplish?
Question 6::
Have any Saudi scholar or specialist been involved in the activities of the
M.E.I.? If not, do you plan to invite Saudi academics to be involved in the future?
Question 7 : Do
you foresee future cooperation between the Middle East Institute and the Saudi
Universities and research centers?
Thank you very
much.
