In an editorial today, the Saudi daily Al-Riyadh praised the new diplomacy of U.S. President Barack Obama, saying that Obama was building a new stage in international relations.
According to the daily, Obama's bow to Saudi King Abdallah at the G-20 conference did not detract from his status as the president of the most powerful country in the world, but showed his humility, and should be seen as a gesture of etiquette from a young person towards an elder.
