On March 12, the Embassy of Saudi Arabia's Cultural Office hosted a job fair in Tokyo in conjunction with this year's graduation ceremony for Saudi Arabian students studying in Japan supported by the country's scholarship program.

The King Abdullah Scholarship Program was launched in 2005 aimed at developing human resources to address the country's major challenges, including a fast-growing population and the departure from an oil-dependent economy.

The program is responsible for all the school expenses and living costs, including a maximum two-year preparation period to follow up language and science-related subjects. Some 150,000 Saudi students have studied abroad so far.
