On behalf of the US Mission to Saudi Arabia, I congratulate Arab News on its 40th anniversary. I enjoy reading Arab News every day, and I appreciate the efforts Arab News makes to cover news developments in Saudi Arabia thoroughly. In its 40 years, Arab News has chronicled the strong US-Saudi partnership, and many American businessmen and expats depend on Arab News for its insightful commentary on this fascinating country.

Arab News fills an important need in providing English language news to a worldwide audience curious about the Kingdom.

Best of luck for another great 40 years!

Congratulations again!

Joseph W. Westphal
