RIYADH: King Salman highlighted the Kingdom’s role in supporting global peace in an Eid message on Thursday evening.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made persistent efforts to support global peace and maintain security and stability through its firm approach to containing crises, as demonstrated by its positions regarding the unfortunate events currently affecting the region,” said the king in a message posted to X ahead of Eid, which is on Friday.
King Salman commended the Saudi military in the message.
“We ask the Almighty to grant victory to our brave heroes and soldiers stationed on our borders. May He protect our precious homeland, the Islamic nation, and the entire world, and may He bless us with lasting security and prosperity.”
Saudi Arabia has been defending itself from missile and drone attacks from Iran after US and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28.
