Note on visit of He.iaz ITe.id Government
M ission to 33urox>e ,
On March 23rd the Hejazi Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs informed Mr,Hope Gill that Ibn
Saud intended to send the Amir Faisal, accompanied toy
Puad Hamza, on a mission to Europe, ^e asked whether
His Majesty 1 s Government would receive the mission,and
a similar enquiry was addressed to the Foreign Office
by the Hejazi Minister in London.
The representatives at Jedda of France and Italy,
and apparently also those of Turkey and Persia, were
similarly notified of the Mission.
Mr,Hope Gill has been instructed to inform the
Hejazi -Nejd Government that His Majesty's Government
will be pleased to receive the mission,and a similar
reply has been addressed to Sheikh Hafiz Wahba in London.
The Italian representative at Jedda arranged for the
mission to sail for Naples in an Italian liner on
April 12th. The party arrived in Rome on April 19th.
They are expected to spend 8 or 10 days in Italy, and it
is understood that they will complete the ratification
of the Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between Italy
and the Hejaz. The itinerary will then be via Geneva to
Paris. The mission is expected in England early in May
and the duration of the visit is expected to be about 10
days. It is understood that the Mission will then visit
the Hague,Berlin,Warsaw and probably Moscow,and thence
go to Angora in June,and Tehran at the end of June.
This programme is presumably only provisional.
Information will be sent of future developments.
Colonial Office,
25th April 1932.
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.
