About Bandar bin Sultan
Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud (Arabic: بندر بن سلطان بن عبد العزيز آل سعود; born 2 March 1949) is a member of the Saudi royal family, military officer, and retired diplomat who served as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005. He is the grandson of Saudi King Abdulaziz. From 2005 to 2015, Bandar served as secretary general of the National Security Council and was director general of the Saudi Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014. From 2014 to 2015, he was King Abdullah's special envoy. Both of Bandar's parents were very young at the time of his birth: his mother Khiziran was just sixteen, and was working as a maid in the palace when she first came in contact with Sultan, who was 23. In October 2005, King Abdullah appointed Bandar bin Sultan as secretary-general of the newly created National Security Council. In October 2010, Middle East analyst Simon Henderson reported in Foreign Policy that Prince Bandar had made his first public appearance in almost two years. Bandar secretly negotiated the first big Saudi-Chinese arms deal.
