Saudi Arabia Names New Foreign Minister in Generational Shift
The Straits Times

25 October 2019

Saudi Arabia has appointed a new foreign minister with experience in Western capitals and loyalty to the powerful crown prince, in what observers say is a generational shift being driven by the young ruler. “The outgoing wasn’t really a foreign policy person. The newly appointed is very smart, very articulate and he has also been very strident in his statements,” said Mr James Dorsey, a Middle East expert at RSIS.
