Saudi Arabia has resumed its diplomatic operations in Kabul, reopening its embassy on Sunday.

In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), the Saudi Embassy announced its decision to resume activities, emphasizing its commitment to providing “all services to the brotherly Afghan people.”

The embassy had been closed since February 2023 due to “security concerns,” KabulNow reported.
