Wafa Al-Marzouki: Saudi woman's milestone
Wafa Al Marzouqi has become the first Saudi woman to hold the position of Consul General for the Kingdom, after taking the oath before the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Riyadh. This took place in Houston, Texas, USA. This appointment comes as part of efforts to enhance Saudi women's presence in diplomatic service and their assumption of leadership roles, as she was previously promoted to the position of Minister Plenipotentiary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in May 2025. The role of Consul General is significant because it involves managing the consulate, representing the Kingdom, and serving Saudi citizens in the region, along with overseeing relations with local authorities. It marks an important step in empowering Saudi women in diplomatic work and expanding their external influence.
