On this day, he announced the unification of all parts of the modern Saudi state under the name of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which corresponds to September 23, the first of the scale, at the hands of the founding King Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud, may God have mercy on him, who laid the foundations for this state and defined its principles and policies derived from the Book of God and the Sunnah. His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
Then his righteous sons came after him, and they continued the march until the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, may God protect him, who draws help from God Almighty and with the help of his servant, His Highness, the Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Prince Muhammad bin Salman.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has insight, wisdom, moderation and courage, as he strengthened the Kingdom's role in all regional and global arenas, which made our country a major and influential role in regional and global decision-making.
Here, King Salman's choices emerge in selecting the youth, and injecting new blood into the administrative work, as it witnessed unprecedented qualitative and historical transformations. My country has become a destination for senior politicians and leaders in the world, and the Arab-Islamic-American Summit is the best witness. The summit resulted in the establishment of a global center based in Riyadh to confront extremist ideology under the name of moderation. Saudi Arabia also affirmed its firm commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms.
His obsession, may God protect him, was the elevation of the citizen, and his reign witnessed many developmental achievements in all sectors, as they were characterized by inclusiveness. A prosperous economy, a vibrant society, and an ambitious homeland. It is the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and its architect, the Crown Prince, may God protect him. The national transformation comes in order to build the capabilities and capabilities necessary to achieve the goals of this vision.
It also included many reform decisions aimed at providing a decent life for the citizen. Out of his keenness, may God bless him, to serve the pilgrims of the House of God, the Umrah performers, and the visitors to the Two Holy Mosques, he opened the third expansion project in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, as he ordered, may God support him, to host many pilgrims from the Gulf and Islamic countries.
And what he did, may God protect him, is a continuation and addition to what his predecessors established with a contemporary look and approach, because he understands history and reads the culture of reality, and those who had the opportunity to know him closely know that.
King Salman bin Abdulaziz is considered the knight of the stage with his view of the strategic dimensions required to achieve many achievements, whether internal or external. On the internal level, may God bless him, he carried out many reforms at all levels. As for the external level, Operation Decisive Storm comes as one of the most important achievements of King Salman. To restore legitimacy to Yemen.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques also ordered the allocation of $274 million for humanitarian relief work in Yemen through the United Nations, coinciding with the launch of Restoring Hope.
During this short period during the reign of my master, King Salman, a qualitative shift was made in the state's institutions and its foreign and domestic policy, and consideration was restored not only for the Kingdom, but for the entire Islamic world.
The Kingdom's position on the issue of Palestine is one of the main constants of the Kingdom's policy since the era of King Abdulaziz – may God have mercy on him – to the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz. Restrictions imposed on entering the mosque, preserving their dignity and security, and respecting the sanctity of the place.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques comes in the list of the most influential leaders in the world, according to the American Times in its famous survey of the “100” most influential personalities in the world.
The preoccupation with security awakens nations and human societies throughout their history, and security is important in the lives and stability of peoples, and at this time the world is turbulent with regional and international turmoil and terrorist acts. The people of the kingdom and their wise leadership.
The National Day means a lot to us, so we must take a moment of contemplation in which we recall the epic of historical heroism and years of effort and giving as an extension of the pioneers who paved the beginning of the road and gave us the opportunity to rise to the horizons of the future.
This unit, which was founded by the founder, may God rest his soul, is a great blessing.
Our country has a right over us, and we must be one hand loyal soldiers to serve our religion, our king, and our country, and to preserve the gains we have achieved until our country has become an example of security, safety, development, and stability.
May God protect the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his trustworthy Crown Prince, and may God bless them with health and wellness, and may God perpetuate His grace, security and prosperity for our country, He is All-Hearing and Responsive.
