In the same context, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, sent a similar congratulatory cable to His Excellency President Peter Pellegrini, President of the Slovak Republic, on the anniversary of the declaration of the Republic of his country.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressed his best wishes for good health and happiness to His Excellency, and for further progress and prosperity to the government and people of the friendly Slovak Republic, hoping that the next stage will witness more fruitful cooperation between the Kingdom and Slovakia in various fields.
Historical background: Commemoration of the proclamation of the Slovak Republic
This message of congratulations comes as the Slovak Republic celebrates its independence, an event that dates back to January 1, 1993. Historically known as the "Velvet Divorce," this event saw the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia and its division into two independent states: the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. This day is a national holiday in Slovakia, symbolizing national sovereignty and the beginning of a new era in the history of the Slovak people in the heart of Europe.
Saudi-Slovak relations
These messages are of particular importance given the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to strengthening its international relations with the European Union. Relations between Riyadh and Bratislava are characterized by cordiality and ongoing cooperation, as the Kingdom, through its Vision 2030, seeks to open new horizons for economic and investment cooperation with friendly nations. This congratulatory message reflects the Saudi leadership's commitment to consolidating diplomatic ties and supporting the stability and prosperity of friendly countries, thereby reinforcing the Kingdom's position as a reliable international partner striving to promote global peace and cooperation.
