WASHINGTON: The chairman of the Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG), the publisher of Arab News, on Wednesday inaugurated the media group’s new Washington headquarters at the historic National Press Building.
Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan Al-Saud was given a tour of the facilities, which will provide support for the editorial and administrative activities across the group’s various businesses.
He was accompanied by Dr. Ghassan Al-Shibl, CEO and managing director of SRMG; Ghassan Charbel, editor in chief of Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper; Faisal J. Abbas, editor in chief of Arab News; and Yasser Al-Ghaslan, SRMG’s Washington office director.
Prince Badr met with a team of journalists and was briefed about the plans of the group and its publications. The office is set to become home to Arab News’ planned Washington bureau, which will complement its existing operations in Saudi Arabia, the wider Middle East, London and Asia.
The launch of the SRMG office was held during the visit by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Washington, as part of a multi-city tour of the US.
