I have been posted in Saudi Arabia for almost 8 years and I can’t recall a single day when I would not have read my daily edition of Arab News.

The great qualities of the content of your articles together with your very professional and objective approach to information are the two main reasons why I enjoy reading your newspaper so much.

As a French Ambassador, and given the strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and France, I greatly appreciate the emphasis Arab News puts on international matters.

Arab News covers regional and world issues through a both Saudi and global perspective that is of great interest for anyone who wants to better understand the Middle East.

I should mention here the high profile Saudi and international columnists whose inputs make the reading of Arab News especially interesting in this regard.

As a friend of Saudi people, I’m also very keen to follow domestic politics and to share the daily life people issues, therefore I highly appreciate your articles dealing with topics, ranging from business, health care, through to politics and education.
