On this occasion, we thank the leaders and officials of sisterly and friendly countries and all officials and citizens of the Kingdom for their feelings and congratulations on this occasion, praying to Allah Almighty to help and guide us so that the Kingdom remains a strong fortress to serve Islam and Muslims, build and serve the Two Holy Mosques, serve the causes of Arab and Islamic nations, support justice and contribute to the establishment of security and stability throughout the world.
