President's Statement on Saudi Arabian Ambassador Bandar
The President thanks His Royal Highness Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abd
al-Aziz Al Saud for his distinguished service as the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia's Ambassador to the United States. Ambassador Bandar has been a
tireless advocate for close ties, warm relations, and mutual understanding
between the United States and Saudi Arabia for over twenty years. In
troubled times U.S. Presidents past and present have relied upon Ambassador
Bandar's advice. In good times, they have enjoyed his wit, charm, and
humor. Throughout his tenure Ambassador Bandar has remained a close,
steadfast friend to the United States. The President bids Ambassador
Bandar and his family a fond farewell and wishes them all the best on their
return to the Kingdom.
