LONDON, March 8, 2018 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met the head of the Anglican church in London yesterday, promising to promote interfaith dialogue as part of his domestic reforms, the British faith leader's office said. Prince Mohammed is making an official visit to London to promote Saudi Arabia as a tolerant, modernizing economy and build a wider new trade and investment relationship with Britain - a long-term defense and security ally. Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion of millions of Christians globally, received the crown prince at Lambeth Palace in central London, where the two talked for an hour. "The Crown Prince made a strong commitment to promote the flourishing of those of different faith traditions, and to interfaith dialogue within the Kingdom and beyond," a statement from Lambeth Palace said. The two men viewed a selection of early texts from the Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths, including fragments of a Koran manuscript found in a Birmingham University library in 2015, which are thought to be among the world's oldest.
