    A weakly symmetric space has been defined first by A. Selberg. According to an alternative definition, this is a Riemannian manifold such that, for every pair of points \(p\) and \(q\), there exists an isometry of this manifold interchanging \(p\) and \(q\). The concept of contact Killing transversally symmetric space (shortly KTS-space) has been introduced and studied mainly by the present authors. These Riemannian manifolds always admit a codimension one submersion on a Hermitian locally symmetric space. In the present paper, the authors prove that each simply connected contact KTS-space fibering over products of complex space forms is a weakly symmetric space.
