Interview with Ambassador Roscoe S. Suddarth
President, The Middle
East Institute, Washington D.C.
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.
