The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, sent a cable of congratulations to the President of the Republic of Suriname, Jennifer Geerlings Simons, on the occasion of her country's Independence Day. This diplomatic gesture reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's keenness to strengthen ties of friendship and cooperation with friendly nations across all continents. In his cable, the King expressed his sincerest congratulations and best wishes for continued health and happiness to Her Excellency, and for further progress and prosperity to the government and people of the brotherly Republic of Suriname, emphasizing the strong bonds that unite the two countries.
In the same vein, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, sent a similar congratulatory cable to Her Excellency Jennifer Gehrings Simons, President of the Republic of Suriname, on the occasion of her country's Independence Day. His Royal Highness expressed his warmest congratulations and best wishes for Her Excellency's continued health and happiness, and wished the government and people of the brotherly Republic of Suriname further progress and prosperity. He also affirmed the Saudi leadership's commitment to maintaining constructive communication in a manner that serves mutual interests.
This congratulatory message comes as the Republic of Suriname celebrates its National Independence Day, a historic event that dates back to November 25, 1975, when the country gained full independence from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This day marks a pivotal moment in the history of Suriname, a country located in northern South America, as it celebrates its national identity and unique cultural diversity, which brings together multiple ethnicities and cultures, making it a model of peaceful coexistence in the region.
Relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Suriname hold particular importance within the framework of joint diplomatic efforts, especially given Suriname's membership in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which provides a common ground for cooperation on issues of concern to the Islamic world and the international community. Through these official communications, the Kingdom seeks to reaffirm its diplomatic approach based on mutual respect, building bridges of communication with all nations, and supporting the stability and prosperity of friendly peoples.
This continuous communication from the wise leadership also reflects the Kingdom’s interest in expanding its international relations to include the countries of South America and the Caribbean, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which aims to enhance Saudi Arabia’s active presence on the international stage and build diverse strategic and economic partnerships that contribute to achieving sustainable development for all.
