Biography

edit

Abdullah bin Khalid bin Sultan was born in 1988 to Khalid bin Sultan Al Saud, former Saudi deputy minister of defense and commander of the joint Arab forces during the Gulf War.[1] He graduated from Columbia University in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in economics and obtained his master's degree in business management from MIT Sloan School of Management in 2015.[2][3]

He previously served as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Austria, non-resident ambassador to Slovenia and Slovakia, and the country's permanent delegate to the United Nations and international organizations in Vienna from 2019 to 2023.[4][5]

As Saudi Arabia's representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, he has called for a comprehensive international agreement and intensified inspections of Iran's nuclear program.[6][7][8]

In May 2023, he was appointed as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Germany and presented his credentials to Germany's president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier at a ceremony in Bellevue Palace. During the ceremony, he affirmed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's keenness to strengthen relations of friendship and cooperation with the Federal Republic of Germany.[9][10][11]

In December 2024, he sold The Holme, a property in Regent's Park, London, to Zedra, a Luxembourgish corporate services firm which manages investments, in a deal with estate agent, Knight Frank, for £139 million. The property was put into receivership and the sale was enforced due to arrears from a £160 million loan secured against the property.[12][13]

In January 2026, he appointed as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United Kingdom.[14] He presented his credentials to King Charles III in February 2026.[15]
