About this item
- Content
The volume contains correspondence and other papers related to the tour by a diplomatic mission from the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd (including Emir Faisal) to Europe in 1932. The tour included a week-long trip to London in May, where Emir Faisal [Fayṣal] met King George V, and representatives of the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd met with British officials from the Foreign Office. The main subject of the discussions between officials of both countries was a request from the Kingdom of Hejaz-Najd for financial assistance (in the form of loans) from the British Government. The request was turned down by British officials, in light of the existing economic circumstances (folio 18-23). The volume contains numerous reports from a variety of British officials at the Foreign Office in London, the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Bahrain, and British embassies based in countries which Faisal visited, giving details of the Emir's movements and appointments, which took him to Rome, Geneva, Paris, London, The Hague, Berlin, Constantinople, and Tehran.
