In a high-profile session chaired by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Saudi Cabinet gathered in Riyadh recently to review preparations for the Kingdom’s upcoming Founding Day and to address pressing regional developments, including a renewed rejection of controversial Israeli land policies in the occupied West Bank. The discussions underscored both national pride in Saudi history and the Kingdom’s continued advocacy for Palestinian rights and a peaceful, just resolution to longstanding conflicts.
The Cabinet described Founding Day, which falls on February 22, as an expression of deep historical pride in the nearly three-century legacy of the Saudi state, from its origins with Imam Muhammad bin Saud to its current role as a leader in regional and global affairs. Officials emphasised that the celebration reflects foundational values such as justice, unity and development and acknowledged the Kingdom’s economic, cultural and social progress under Vision 2030.
