In a cherished memory for us all, the nation, both leadership and citizens, celebrates the occasion of Founding Day to commemorate the history of the establishment of the Saudi state founded by Imam Muhammad bin Saud on February 22, 1727, marking three centuries since we raised the banner, with Diriyah as its capital and the beginning of its glories.

The celebration of this day comes as a proud reminder of the deep roots of the Saudi state and the unity, security, and stability it has established. It highlights the historical and cultural depth of our nation, from the first Saudi state to the present day, while also celebrating our diverse cultural heritage.

We ask Allah, the Almighty, to maintain the security, stability, and pride of our country, and to protect our leaders and our safety from all harm and misfortune.

A. Sultan bin Hussein Al-Buqimi
