On Saudi Arabia’s 95th National Day, the Kingdom—its leadership and its people—celebrates the anniversary of the founding of a homeland that has today become an exemplar of renaissance, a pillar of stability, and a globally influential voice.
It is a day that recalls the glories of the past, reflects the achievements of the present, and opens horizons for the future with a clear vision laid out by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz—one that has become a global model in development, planning, and major transformations.
Humanitarian Achievements: Saudi Arabia’s Message to the World
The Kingdom’s achievements have not been limited to politics and the economy; they have extended to every corner of the globe through its humanitarian footprint.
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has become a global arm of generosity, delivering assistance to dozens of countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America. From aiding the victims of earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, to supporting the needy in Yemen and Sudan, and providing medical and food assistance to millions of people, Saudi Arabia has solidified its standing as the region’s largest humanitarian donor and a global leader in advancing the values of compassion and solidarity.
Saudi Arabia at the United Nations and in International Relations
On the international stage, Saudi Arabia has earned a distinguished standing that ensures its voice is present on every issue and its vision is widely respected:
- Syria: Under the Crown Prince’s leadership, Riyadh helped bring Damascus back into the Arab fold, pushing for the easing of certain sanctions and encouraging economic revival and investment to serve the Syrian people and ensure stability.
- Palestine: Saudi diplomacy achieved a historic milestone by consolidating the growing international recognition of the State of Palestine and reaffirming the just position on the Palestinian people’s right to self‑determination—stressing that there can be no peace without an independent Palestinian state.
- Lebanon: The Kingdom continued to support the legitimate authorities and stand by the Lebanese people in the face of economic and political crises, providing humanitarian assistance and supporting the stability of national institutions.
- Yemen: Saudi Arabia backed truce agreements and helped deliver humanitarian aid to millions of Yemenis through the King Salman Center, while advancing reconstruction initiatives and stabilization programs that pave the way for comprehensive peace.
- International forums: The Kingdom raised its voice in defense of climate justice, energy security, and sustainable development, becoming a key partner in shaping international decisions that promote cooperation among nations.
The Crown Prince’s Vision: A Global Model of Renaissance
Vision 2030, launched by the Crown Prince, is no longer merely a domestic plan; it has become an inspiring global experience. It has driven unprecedented diversification across investment, energy, tourism, and technology, while megaprojects such as NEOM, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea have become icons of civilizational renewal.
Social and cultural reforms have likewise empowered youth and women, opening the doors to creativity and making Saudi society a contemporary model that preserves its authenticity while keeping pace with the future.
