On this day, we take pride in recalling the founding of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by its founder, the late King Abdulaziz Al Saud – may his soul rest in peace – who led a historic struggle to unite this vast land and create a bright future. He worked tirelessly to develop all sectors, expand the nation’s influence, and diversify its gains, making the Kingdom one of the largest and most prosperous countries in the world.
In a short time, our Kingdom has achieved a global standing through its political, economic, and cultural status. It has, thanks to God, naturally extended its cultural outreach and international cooperation. The Kingdom is witnessing rapid growth in strengthening cultural dialogue and exchanging knowledge with countries around the world, building bridges of communication and international partnerships that enhance the well-being of its great people and reflect on their quality of life.
With God's will, the future of our Kingdom is bright and promising. Our vision aims to achieve economic diversification and sustainable development across all sectors, including boosting innovation, developing infrastructure, and empowering the youth of our country in all fields.
We renew our loyalty, pledge, and dedication to work for the progress and prosperity of our generous nation, moving forward to realize our ambitious Vision 2030.
In conclusion, I extend my highest congratulations and blessings to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the Crown Prince – may God protect them – and the honorable Saudi people, on the occasion of National Day 94, marking the unification of the Kingdom under the leadership of the founder, King Abdulaziz, may God rest his soul. I pray to God that He continues to bless our country with security, safety, development, and prosperity.
