S. Arabia appoints princess as Unesco representative
|
[DAWN] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
has named Princess Haifa al-Mogrin as its representative to Unesco, a rare female appointment to an international body, as the ultra-conservative country works to revamp its image.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
 ...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists...
has been on a modernisation drive, seeking to project a moderate, business-friendly image to boost investment and help diversify the economy away from oil.
"King Salman
...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians...
has approved the delegation of Prince Haifa as permanent representative to Unesco," the United Nation’s cultural agency, the official Saudi Press Agency said on Wednesday.
The announcement comes almost a year after the kingdom appointed its first woman ambassador to the United States, Princess Rima bint Bandar.
Saudi Arabia has recently eased restrictions on women ‐ including allowing them to drive and receive passports and travel abroad without permission from male relatives.
