Princess Haifa bint Abdulaziz Al-Muqrin, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) reaffirmed including the Sadu weaving craftsmanship on List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO, as a joint file with the sisterly State of Kuwait, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was forwarded, in this regard, in a new step towards achieving cultural aspects of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. Culture, in particular, has the generous support of the wise leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, hence she extended thanks and appreciation to them for the achievement, as it constituted a boost to the national heritage. Sadu weaving is the eighth cultural element that the Kingdom has succeeded in including into with UNESCO list, as a part of its efforts to document the intangible national heritage and to shed light on them locally and internationally, as well, in a way that enhances its chances of continuation and ensuring its sustainability across generations. The weaving is among creative traditional craftsmanship practiced by the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, since ancient times, which has become one of the most important aspects and images of the human heritage, in the Kingdom, with its various designs, decorations and colors. As an expression of such a cultural significance of Sadu, it was used in the design of the logo of the G20 summit, which the kingdom, recently, has played host to, last month.
