[4] A 1983 Royal Decree by King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud mandated the relocation of all diplomatic missions to Riyadh, the new capital city.

On 5 June 2024, the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh, under the leadership of Chargé d'Affaires Rommel Romato, proudly inaugurated the newly restored Ambassador's Residence.

This significant restoration project stands as a testament to the embassy's unwavering commitment to preserving the 28-year-old official residence designed by the esteemed Filipino national artist for Architecture, Francisco Mañosa.

Sarah Lou Arriola, DFA Undersecretary for Migrant Workers’ Affairs, Assistant Secretary Enrico Fos of the DFA Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers’ Affairs (OUMWA), and Assistant Secretary JV Arcena of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).

The project was funded by the Philippine Government under the 2020 General Appropriations Act (GAA) through the initiative of former Secretary of Foreign Affairs and then Speaker of the House of Representatives Alan Peter S. Cayetano.

It protects the rights of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) through labor assistance programs and promotes their well-being with cultural events and reintegration initiatives.

[28] The SSS Riyadh Representative Office was established in 1998 in line with the mandate of the Social Security System to bring its services closer to its members, wherever they may be, and to implement the coverage program for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

The office's purpose is to enhance the relationship between the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the law enforcement agencies of KSA, as well as other countries within its jurisdiction, such as the United Arab Emirates.

It also serves as a connection to various international and regional police organizations, particularly concerning transnational crime, terrorism, human trafficking, and migrant worker protection.

The OPA-KSA was established due to the increasing number of Filipinos working in the Middle East and the growing significance of security cooperation between the Philippines and the Gulf States.

Since its establishment, OPA-KSA has played a vital role in intelligence fusion and diplomatic efforts aimed at addressing organized crime, ensuring the safety of Filipino workers, and maintaining strong bilateral relations.

The presence of a Commercial Attaché based in Riyadh helps ensure the Department of Trade and Industry's success in implementing its mandates, as outlined in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, which includes increasing foreign direct investments, enhancing the competitiveness of Philippine industries and services, and improving access to production networks and markets.
