Abdulaziz bin Abdullah is the Saudi deputy minister of foreign affairs, and a member of the country's royal family.
Prince Abdulaziz was born in Riyadh in 1963. He is the third son of King Abdullah. Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1986.
Abdulaziz bin Abdullah served in the Saudi Arabian National Guard for fifteen years in different positions. In 1991, he was appointed as an advisor to the Crown Prince Abdullah. Specifically, he was Syrian advisor of the Crown Prince Abdullah. He was also a former state minister.
King Abdullah appointed Prince Abdulaziz as deputy foreign minister on 22 July 2011. During the Syrian civil war, Prince Abdulaziz asked Turkey to establish "nerve centre" attempting to topple Bashar Assad. The center was founded in Adana in the mid-2012. Prince Abdulaziz personally deals with Bashar Assad's file.
He represented Saudi Arabia at the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Tahran from 30 to 31 August 2012, since Foreign Affairs Minister Prince Saud had an operation and could not attend the meeting. Prince Abdulaziz met with Iranian President Mahmud Ahmedinejad during his stay in Tahran.
Prince Abdulaziz is owner of Tower Lane Properties, a land development firm. It is reported that the company spent $12 million on five-and-a-quarter acres of land in the Benedict Canyon in 2009, and applied for permits to build a mansion. The project, later, was reduced to 60,000-square-foot. However, more than 1,000 residents of the area signed a petition against this project, requiring an environmental review. The Prince's lawyers filled a case against this petition. Prince Abdulaziz won his lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles in late August 2012.
