List of diplomatic missions of Saudi Arabia
This is a list of diplomatic missions of Saudi Arabia. Ibn Saud established the General Directory for the Foreign Affairs in 1926. Four years later it was given ministry status, even though it had a staff of fifteen employees in total and no diplomatic missions abroad. In 1936, Saudi Arabia had five missions–in London, Baghdad, Damascus, Geneva, and Cairo–and fifteen years later this number jumped to sixteen. Saudi Arabia now has an extensive diplomatic presence worldwide.Africa
