Saudi Arabian leadership, including King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has issued several official congratulatory messages to various world leaders regarding national milestones.

In early September, messages were sent to King Haakon VIII of Norway following his swearing-in ceremony, expressing a desire to “strengthen bilateral cooperation and diplomatic ties.” The leadership also congratulated President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan on Independence Day and President Peter Pellegrini of Slovakia on Constitution Day.

Later in the month, the Saudi leadership extended congratulations to Nepalese President Ram Chandra Paudel to mark Nepal’s Constitution Day, wishing for the continued prosperity and development of the nation.
