On August 4th, 2025, China's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Chang Hua met with Ihab Naggar, the new Deputy Minister of Consular Affairs of Saudi Foreign Ministry.

Ambassador Chang Hua pointed out that the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Saudi Arabia has continued to deepen and personnel exchanges between the two countries have become more frequent. China has implemented a one-year unilateral visa-free policy for Saudi citizens with ordinary passports to help Saudi citizens travel to China. At the same time, China expects Saudi Arabia to provide more convenience for China citizens to travel to Saudi Arabia. He said that the Embassy of China shoulders the responsibility of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese-funded institutions and citizens of China in Saudi Arabia, and will earnestly do a good job in consular protection and service, hoping to strengthen communication and cooperation with relevant departments of Saudi Arabia in this regard.

Ihab Naggar responded that Saudi Arabia has friendly relations with China and warmly welcomes more China enterprises to invest in Saudi Arabia and more China tourists to visit Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is willing to enhance exchanges and cooperation with China in the field of consular affairs. (This article is from Daodao www.seetao.com, official website.
