    We are closely attached to Saudi Arabia for more than fifty years. We have loved Saudi Arabia and admired Saudi Arabia for the contribution that Saudi Arabia has made not only for the Arab World but for the whole world at large.

    The wise diplomacy of Saudi Arabia in all matters pertaining to not only Oil and Gas but also in Petrochemicals, and many other involvements pertaining to Education, Health, Agriculture and many other infrastructure developments for more than five decades have been closely monitored and deeply admired. The legacy of Leadership rendered by last five Kings such as King Saud, Faisal, Khalid, Fahad and Abdulla, and the present King Sulman has been closely watched with a whisper of a prayer, because their Leadership has paved way for lot of peace and progress throughout the Middle Eastern region and far beyond.

    King Sulman has been a tremendous leader as the Governor of Riyadh for so many years, and he knows the beaurocracies more than anyone else. We wish him continued good health and wisdom so that under his wise leadership the Kingdom will continue to be a worthy power that will guide the destiny of not only the Islamic world but also the rest of the progressive world.

    There is no substitute for Peace and Harmony in this world, and let the gift of peace continue to prevail everywhere, particularly in the Middle East. "Assalam Aleqhum".
