The Saudi National Day commemorates the unification of the Kingdom and its founding at the hands of His Majesty King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud. The celebration of Saudi Arabia’s National Day is an expression of glory and pride for the wise leadership that not only united the Kingdom but also established the strongest and most reliable relations with local, regional, and international partners through its visionary foreign policy and diplomacy.
