Therefore, this dear 90th anniversary of our country is a reminder to us of the need to strive forward in the journey of construction and development, the journey of the blessed Vision 2030, with a patriotic spirit in which there is no division, racism, or exclusion. The memory of a homeland day for every Saudi, a memory that the resident, male and female, shares with us in our country, the landing pad of revelation, the land of tolerance and peace, and this is how God wanted her, and he mocked for her an outstanding leader who is the founder King Abdul Aziz – may God have mercy on him – who built the building of this nation on tolerance , brotherhood, the spirit of citizenship, social peace, security, and openness to the world, on the Arab, Islamic and international levels.
