I am very happy to learn that Arab News would be publishing a special report to mark its 40th Anniversary.

Arab News covers a wide range of national, regional and global issues with a Saudi perspective, through its celebrated columnists and journalists.

With some of the best editors-in-chief at work, Arab News has earned its name in the field of professional journalism and has become a reliable source of information while maintaining very high reporting standards.

Many Indian cultural events are given wide coverage and the Indian community members read Arab News with great interest.

Its focus on sports, especially cricket, is something, which cricket lovers from India and the subcontinent love to read.

The weekend editions and the Diplomat’s Corner are features, which I personally read with great interest.

We hope that Arab News would scale new heights under the energetic leadership of Mr. Mohammed Fahad Al-Harthi.

On this auspicious occasion, the Consulate General of India in Jeddah extends its best wishes to the entire team and management of the Arab News.

Consul general of India
