Arab News offers window on the world

By providing relevant information and analysis on major international events, Arab News gives its readers a window on the world. In addition, it supports Saudi unity by reporting on different regions of the country and by linking together the communities of this vast nation. It acts as a forum that allows various perspectives from all streams of Saudi society to be heard, and spreads a culture of dialogue and tolerance. More importantly, it plays a significant role in the building of consensus over the future development of the Kingdom, under the guidance and leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah.
Happy anniversary to Arab News, and congratulations to all the people who have contributed to its success.
