Saudi Arabia stressed on Monday its keenness on maintaining cooperation with the United States in various fields, especially amid the current challenges in the Middle East, said the Kingdom’s Ambassador to Washington Princess Reema bint Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz.

Princess Reema represented Saudi Arabia at the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States. She conveyed the congratulations of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, who wished Trump success in his second term in office.

In a statement, she emphasized the importance of the historic relations and strategic partnership between Riyadh and Washington.

“Nearly 80 years have passed since the late founder, King Abdulaziz Al Saud, met with former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in February 1945, where the foundations for a strong relationship between the two friendly nations were laid,” she remarked.

“Since then, the strategic partnership between the two countries has successfully strengthened security and peace, overcoming many political and economic challenges together,” Princess Reema said.

The ambassador noted that the Kingdom's government looks forward to continuing cooperation with the United States across various fields, especially in light of the current challenges facing the Middle East.

Additionally, she underscored the depth of Saudi-American relations, which have spanned decades and encompass various political, economic and developmental areas. These relations are part of a partnership aimed at boosting global stability and security.
