Prince Mohammed bin Fahd, chairman of the Higher Committee for Seminars and Activities on the History of the late King Fahd, praised King Abdul Aziz Foundation for their astounding work to document the history of the Saudi kings.
The prince made this observation in a statement to the media, after preparations for a seminar focusing on the history of King Fahd, were through. The seminar will relate the late king’s achievements in different spheres through the implementation of different projects to bring light on his deeds for the country.
The prince lauded a series of seminars on the Saudi kings organized by the foundation, since this research plays a significant role in documenting the Kingdom’s modern history, in line with the techniques of the latest research methodology.
“I am pleased to present my sincere thanks and appreciation to King Abdullah for issuing the orders to conduct the seminars. I would also like to thank Crown Prince Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, who always stands in support of the foundation’s projects,’’ the prince said, adding that documenting the country’s history is a vital and noble task.
Prince Mohammed also pointed the significance of seminars focusing on former kings of Saudi Arabia, like King Saud, King Faisal, King Khaled and King Fahd, because they steered the country through hard times, unprecedented in the history of the Arab and Muslim world.
“The documentation of their history is the documentation of unprecedented political leadership in the context of exceptional regional and international challenges. It is the matter for researchers today as well as for the near and distant future centuries to come,’’ he added.
According to Prince Mohammed, all of the Saudi kings had multiple achievements in every position they held, serving the country now as guidance beacons.
Closing his speech, the prince gave an emotional final discourse on the former kings’ accomplishments, claiming they are a matter of pride not only for his descendants, but to all citizens.
“The great growth and development projects that we witness in the country now are not fruits of their efforts alone but the efforts of all citizens,’’ he said.
The prince also prayed for King Abdullah’s success in completing the country’s development, hoping that his steps be in the right direction for the welfare of the country and the citizens.
