"The closure of our booth was an unjustified, unprofessional act that damages the image of Saudi Arabia internationally," a statement issued over the weekend said. "Prior to the event, we specifically inquired whether women staff would be permitted at the Exhibition and were told by the organisers, the Al Harithy Company, that they would." 6:38:06 AM
