RIYADH : I wish to extend my best wishes to all the fellow Sri Lankan nationals living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and back home a happy and prosperous 77th Independence Day of Sri Lanka.
While Sri Lanka enters into a new era of her Independence by celebrating the 77th anniversary, Sri Lanka- Saudi Arabia relations enters into a new era of their establishment of diplomatic relations by celebrating their 50 years of diplomatic ties. This is a remarkable milestone and the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Riyadh is pleased to host a diplomatic reception at the Cultural Palace in the Diplomatic Quarters in Riyadh to commemorate these two happy occasions.
I wish to pay a tribute to all the people of Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia who contributed to the enhancement of the bilateral ties between the two friendly countries over the decades.
Long live Sri Lanka and long live Sri Lanka- Saudi Relations!
