RIYADH (AA) – Saudi Arabia’s first female ambassador on Thursday started her new mission as her country’s top diplomat in Washington DC.
“Honored to present my credentials today,” Princess Rima Bint Bandar Al-Saud tweeted.
“Looking forward to starting this chapter of my life in Washington DC,” she said.
She noted that she was feeling excited to begin her new journey with a "wonderful team."
