It gives me immense pleasure to learn that the English newspaper i.e. Arab News will be celebrating its 40th year anniversary on May 18, 2015.

As diplomats in Jeddah, we look forward for competent, reliable, online and on time sources of information in English. In this regard, the Arab News creativity and innovation backed by a team of highly qualified, experienced and dedicated professionals has always delivered the utmost best at all time.

On this occasion, I congratulate both the management and staff of Arab News for their great achievements and look forward to its continuity for excellence, commitments of quality and innovation for the years to come.

Congratulations and regards.
