Ghazi Al Gosaibi, a popular Saudi government minister and poet, has died at age 70. He was born in Hofuf on March 3, 1940 to a prominent and wealthy family of traders. Al Gosaibi was known as both a technocrat who served four kings and an author of numerous novels and non-fiction works, in addition to his poetry.

His career choice may have been that of a diplomat. In fact, he was so astute, that the Saudi Arabian media referred to him as ‘the only great man in Saudi Arabia’. This marked the beginning of his career as a politician and diplomat. He served in various Ministerial positions such as Minister of Labor and Health. He also served as Ambassador to the United Kingdom and Bahrain. He was respected by Saudi progressives for his boldness in pointing out the problems of conservative Saudi society. Al Gosaibi published dozens of books, including essays, poetry, and love stories.
