“The U.S.-Saudi Business Council has been playing an important role in developing and expanding business cooperation between American and Saudi Arabian companies since its inception in 1993. The Council has arranged many successful business development missions to the Kingdom. Such missions are important since they encourage direct interaction between the companies to have a first hand feel of our country and the market. The Council has also facilitated one-on-one contact with the visiting companies whenever we have so requested. I wish the Council all the success for their future plans and look forward to the next business development mission to the Kingdom soon.”
