The Head of the General Intelligence Presidency, Prince Mugrin bin Abdulaziz, has expressed his pride in the Custodian of the two holy mosques, King Abdullah bin Abulaziz, a leader whose interests have transcended regional boundaries so that the whole world, with all its different cultures and persuasions, can enjoy a share of his concerns. The King, said his highness, has been keen to bring together the different views of different cultures, demonstrated by his call to hold a conference for religious dialogue which stems from his great care for having people understand each other, for hearts to bond, and for the vague appearances that have covered others, to vanish so that nations may tolerate each other in peace, serenity, and security.
His highness then offered the best of his congratulations, and that of the Saudi people, on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the King’s accession to rule.
He said that: “These years have been full of generosity, progress, and prosperity on all fronts, inside and outside the country. The custodian had achieved a lot in serving Arab, Islamic, and international issues, and left his clear mark on all fields, political, economic, and social. No two persons would differ over the fact that, what the Kings has provided in previous years and what he is providing currently for his nation and for the Arabs and Muslims, have been enormous and impossible to describe”.
His highness then continued, saying: “ However the Custodian of the two holy mosques, and in spite of his international concerns, has made his biggest concern that of providing for the Saudi citizen, an honorable life and all that is required for the progress and prosperity of his country. Taking upon himself the shouldering of this responsibility which the nation has bestowed on him. And here we are today, witnessing citizens in all regions of the land, renew their vows and allegiance to him, expressing their happiness and contentment, asking the almighty to lengthen his life and assist him to complete this career of continuous giving and serving of his people, his country, and his nation”.
