I would like to congratulate you on the 40th anniversary of Arab News.

The founding of your newspaper by Hisham and Mohammad Ali Hafiz was a significant event in journalism in the Arab world.

For many years now, our US Mission and Consulate in Jeddah have relied on Arab News for information about events in Saudi Arabia and the region.

We look forward to continued mutually beneficial relations with Arab News and your staff of professionals throughout the Kingdom.


Todd C. Holmstrom

US consul general
