Over the past 35 years, Arab News has positioned itself as the Middle East’s leading English newspaper and the favorite among readers in the region.

Since its launch in 1975, Arab News has provided readers with analysis of all major milestones, not only domestically and regionally, but also globally. I continue to be interested in Arab News because it evolves to meet the needs of all readers and continues to include new sections, in-depth analysis and extended coverage on key topics. In addition, its website enables readers to access their favorite newspaper from different parts of the world.

I am pleased that Arab News is one of the effective Saudi communication channels that convey Saudi views to different parts of the world with fair presentation. Therefore, Arab News established its reputation as one of the major sources of Arab media that objectively addresses different views on many issues. Arab News' journalistic and business values, as well as recognized achievements, have enhanced society by creating, collecting and distributing high quality news, information and entertainment.

The leadership of the editor in chief of Arab News has proven its distinguished approach to achieve a higher standard of news reporting. I have noticed a great improvement in Arab News in the last seven years. The editor in chief has led the strategic and commercial development of Arab News to its success. I look forward to seeing Arab News continue on its successful track record and keep evolving globally to meet a wide range of readers. Congratulations on 35 years of impressive coverage.
