Saudi National Day: Celebrations and National Initiatives on the 93rd Anniversary
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia celebrates on Monday, February 22, the National Day on its 93rd anniversary, which coincides with the anniversary of the unification of the Kingdom by the founding king Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1932.
The Kingdom is witnessing wide official and popular celebrations on this precious occasion, as the General Entertainment Authority announced the organization of more than 4,000 entertainment events in various regions of the Kingdom, including 1,800 artistic performances and 3,500 light shows, in addition to fireworks displays.
Saudi Minister of Culture, Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al Saud, said: “The National Day represents an opportunity to renew belonging and pride in our national identity and authentic culture.”
He added in press statements: “We celebrate this year under the slogan (‘It is our home’), which expresses our close connection to this blessed land and our wise leadership.”
For his part, Minister of Media, Engineer Salman bin Yousef Al-Dosari, confirmed that “the National Day embodies unity under the banner of unification, and reflects what has been achieved of developmental and civilizational achievements during the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his faithful Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud – may God protect them.”
The Kingdom has witnessed in recent years a comprehensive developmental renaissance within the framework of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to diversify sources of income and enhance the Kingdom’s regional and international standing.
As part of the celebrations, many government and private entities announced national initiatives, including the launch of the Royal Commission for the City of Riyadh for the “Green Riyadh” project, which aims to plant 7.5 million trees in the capital by 2030.
The Holy Capital Municipality also launched the “Makkah Beautification” initiative, which aims to improve the urban landscape in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the Holy Sites, and enhance the quality of life for visitors to the Two Holy Mosques.
This year’s National Day celebration comes amid regional and international challenges, which confirms the importance of national unity and rallying around wise leadership to move forward in the path of development and progress.
The streets and squares of the Kingdom have been decorated with Saudi flags and green lights, while many government and private buildings have launched celebratory light shows.
Military and security sectors are participating in the celebrations with air and naval displays, as the Royal Saudi Air Force is carrying out air shows in the skies of the capital Riyadh and several major cities.
The National Day is a precious national occasion in the hearts of Saudis, as it embodies a proud and achievement-filled history, and affirms the depth of belonging to the homeland and loyalty to the wise leadership.
