A woman going to be the new Saudi Foreign Minister.
“Reema bint Bandar bin Sultan” is a Saudi princess born in 1975 in Riyadh. Her father is “Bandar bin Sultan”, a famous Saudi prince with a long history of serving as the Saudi embassy in the United States and the head of the country’s intelligence and security service. He is considered an influential prince in the Saudi government.
Reema bint Bandar spent her childhood in the United States and pursued her education in the United States with a bachelor’s degree in “Museum Studies” from George Washington University.
She is considered one of the people close to “Mohammed bin Salman” and a supporter of his Western-oriented reforms. For many years, Reema managed the “Alpha International” group, which is a representative of the most luxurious brands such as the prestigious “Harvey Nichols” department stores in Riyadh. “Forbes Middle East” magazine included Princess Reema bint Bandar in the list of 200 powerful Arab women in 2014. During the first term of Trump’s presidency, she was appointed as the first female ambassador in Saudi Arabia’s history to the United States after Khalid bin Salman in 2019. This move can be seen as part of Mohammed bin Salman’s reforms and new management to restore Saudi Arabia’s image in the eyes of public opinion and introduce a new face for Saudi Arabia on the global stage.
