On behalf of Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the United Nations, Ambassador Abdulaziz bin Mohamed Al-Wasel, signed on Friday protocols to establish diplomatic relations with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Nauru.
