Al Moallimi took oath as the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Norway in front of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and in the presence of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman in a virtual ceremony held on Oct. 20 of last year. Her remarkable appointment is yet another example of female participation in diplomacy fields once dominated by men.
