A homeland whose dreams lie in the Pleiades
Abdulaziz Al-Issa
Unleash your wild imagination and let it run free to paint a vivid, colorful, and beautiful picture of our kingdom as it looks toward 2030. surely the limits of imagination will fade away as it expands endlessly, for every joy will be followed by another... and every achievement will be followed by another. Such is the bright future of our country as we contemplate it through our celebrations of the 92nd National Day for the unification of the Kingdom by the Founding King, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud.
When the leadership, may God support it, points to the Thuraya, we must journey on the wings of our aspirations and cherished dreams with confidence and reassurance that reaching the summit is imminent, and with strong will and determination, drawing its strength from "the determination of the Saudis, like Mount Tuwaiq," as the inspiring leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, may God protect him, said. If you wish to know the future of a nation… look at the confidence of its leaders in the capabilities of the people… And to a people who offer garlands of flowers to those entrusted with their affairs... you will surely find satisfaction, gratitude, and love as a shared asset and mutual feelings among all... That is why the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has risen to the top with high spirits, keen insight, patience, and steadfastness to achieve what was once deemed impossible. We have every right to be proud of and boast about this generous homeland, which has given the Saudi people an active and distinguished presence in every forum. Wherever you are, whenever the time, hold your head high... for you are a Saudi.
For 92 years, a spirit of belonging has been etched into the pages of history. Throughout these years, the heart of the nation has been fertile ground for nurturing success in all fields, from educating and refining its citizens, through motivating and preparing them to navigate life in the future, until they themselves became the future. Thus, the Saudi people have transitioned from users to creators and innovators, and technology has yielded to them, until the Kingdom has proudly become a major source of modern technology across all sectors.
As we gaze toward the constellation of the Pleiades in its lofty heights to write history in letters of gold, we keep in our memory the beginnings that led to the unification of the Kingdom, and the grave challenges that confronted this dream, so that we may cling to it with all our might and preserve the blessing of security and safety by rallying around the achievements of our beloved Kingdom. For history holds a story in our Kingdom that has yet to be written.
