GATEWAY POSITIONING
FROM THE EMBASSY
A Message from Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia and Singapore share a partnership built on shared aspirations and complementary strengths. As the Kingdom advances Vision 2030, Singapore stands as one of our most trusted institutional partners in Asia, anchoring the technological, financial, and human-capital bridges that connect the Gulf with Southeast Asia and the wider Indo-Pacific. The next decade will deepen this corridor in ways that benefit both our peoples and the region.
H.E. Mohammad Abdullah S. Al Ghamdi
Sun Media’s Saudi Arabia coverage spans more than fifteen years of partnership with the Royal Embassy, documenting Vision 2030 sector openings, the G20 Riyadh Summit, and the 95th National Day partnership recognised by the Kingdom in 2025.
