Saudi Ambassador to Iran Abdullah bin Saud Al-Anzi hosted a reception on the occasion of the Kingdom’s 93rd National Day, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

The event, held under the theme “We dream and realize”, was attended by Iranian Minister of Oil Javad Owji and several ambassadors in Tehran.

Al-Anzi extended his congratulations to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, on the occasion.

National Day is a source of immense pride for the homeland, tracing its roots back to the unification efforts led by late King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, he added.

He acknowledged the tremendous efforts to build a robust nation, guided by the principles of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed. This commitment has allowed Saudi Arabia to make significant progress towards a brighter future for its people, the Islamic nation, and all of humanity.
