To mark the occasion, RSNF Commander Al-Ghufaili delivered a speech in which he expressed his happiness for this remarkable achievement of launching the first warship of the Sarawat project. He said this achievement is a milestone in the history of the Royal Saudi Naval Forces, and will contribute to raising the level of readiness of the RSNF to enhance maritime security in the region and protect the vital and strategic interests of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
He also expressed appreciation for the unlimited support enjoyed by the Saudi Armed Forces in general and the Navy in particular by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, the Supreme Commander of all military forces, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, as well as by Prince Khalid bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Minister of Defense.
For his part, SAMI CEO, Eng.
