It gives me immense pleasure to felicitate daily Arab News on its 39th anniversary.
The daily has played a premier role in keeping the English language readers in the Kingdom informed of the important developments in the country, region and the entire world.
The Pakistani community in the Kingdom has also benefited from the daily’s timely and detailed news and views coverage.
The daily has also played an important role as a bridge between the Saudi government and public on the one hand and the expatriate community on the other.
On many occasions, the daily has acted as the medium through which the expatriate community has voiced its sentiments.
In this way, the daily can be genuinely termed as the voice of the expatriate community.
I convey my heartiest felicitations to the entire team of Arab News for its objective, constructive and meaningful coverage of news and views in the Kingdom.
I wish you all further success.
Muhammad Naeem Khan
Ambassador of Pakistan
