News coverage emerging from various media sources incorrectly states that His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark, and Saudi Ambassador Ahmed Kattan, met regarding the establishment of the first church in Saudi Arabia. This was however a strictly cordial visit by His Holiness Pope Tawadros to the Saudi ambassador to express his thanks for the assistance provided in facilitating the pastoral visit of a Coptic Orthodox bishop to Coptic Christians in Saudi Arabia.
