Uchiyamada pointed out that the relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan are very close, and this visit is evidence that confirms the depth of the bonds of this relationship at various levels and in different areas. Uchiyamada explained Toyota's history in Saudi Arabia, a deep relationship that extends back for more than half a century with the establishment of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan, according to a press release received here on Thursday.
He also pointed out that Abdul Latif Jameel Company (ALJ) is one of the best distributors in Toyota's global network. ALJ is one of 14 companies around the world (including Toyota owned companies) that has won the Excellence Award in after-sales service during the past three years.

ALJCI has become a role model in community initiatives for other companies to follow around the world.
