[From 2010: A Georgian woman has become the first woman ambassador to Saudi Arabia after presenting her credentials to King Abdullah.](http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/saudi-arabia/georgian-becomes-first-woman-ambassador-to-saudi-arabia-1.702417) Although it looks like her appointment covered several Gulf states at the same time and she was based elsewhere. Once Georgia built a real embassy in SA, they made a man their first one-on-one ambassador. Ms. Meiering-Mikadze is currently the Georgian ambassador to Qatar.
