The Saudi pivotal role in serving Islam and championing the Arab and Islamic causes was hailed.
“Saudi Arabia is setting a pioneering model for regional and international peace, security and stability, led by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud”, said Information Affairs Minister Ali bin Mohammed Al-Romaihi.

In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), he said that Bahrain leadership, Government and people share Saudi Arabia festivities marking its 87th National Day.

He paid tribute to late monarch King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who laid the foundations of a modern state with a spiritual stature in the heart of the Arab and Islamic nations.

He hailed deep-rooted historic ties binding leaders and peoples of both countries, on the basis of long-standing amity, mutual respect, geographic and civilizational proximity, unified by the factors of religion, language, kinship relations and shared destiny.

“Saudi and Bahrain have established model relations which value Arabian Gulf fraternity; Arab and Islamic solidarity, led by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Saud and His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa”, he said.

Al-Romaihi paid tribute to the two leaders for their keenness on preserving Arabian Gulf unity, strengthening pan-Arab action, protecting Arab security, following into the steps of the founding father of Saudi Arabia and his successors.

He expressed Bahrain’s pride and gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its unwavering honourable stances, down history, in support of its security, stability and development.

The minister stressed the pivotal leverage of Saudi Arabia, being the strategic cornerstone that maintains the Gulf security and stability and the shield that staves off foreign interferences and confronts terrorist and extremist organisations.

“The world looks with admiration to the Saudi leader for his landmark stances, wise leadership of the Arab and Islamic world and enlightened initiatives in support of dialogue, peaceful co-existence between peoples and civilisations”, he said.

He highlighted Saudi assistance to poor and disaster-hit countries and firm leadership of the Arab and Islamic alliance to combat extremism and terrorism and dry up terror finances, lauding Saudi services to pilgrims and visitors of the holy sites

Al-Romaihi extended congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, to Crown Prince, Deputy Premier and Defence Minister His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud and to the Saudi people on this national occasion.

He wished the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia further progress and prosperity to continue landmark development and crucial contributions towards strengthening tolerance and moderate Islam teachings.
