Al-Maghlouth Named Vice Minister of Media

A royal order issued on 12 February 2026 appointed Abdullah bin Ahmed Al-Maghlouth as Vice (Deputy) Minister of Media in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the Excellent rank.

The order moves Al-Maghlouth from his previous position as Assistant Minister of Media, which he held at the same rank, to the more senior role of Vice Minister. His appointment forms part of the current leadership structure of the Ministry of Media as of 2026.
