King Inaugurates 1st Year of 5th Session of Shoura Council 2

The King said, "Dear Brothers:
In this atmosphere surrounded by darkness, the Arab peoples see that
their destiny is threatened by others. They have felt that their
hopes are scattered around and their future is bleak. But the
believing nation has no disheartedness.

As a result of sufferings and the wounds, the nation recalls a long record of its victories. It has triumphed over despair. It has been launched from the plain of bitter reality to the top of the challenge, surpassing itself and is seeking for the unification of its ranks and positions.

We will continue - God willing - until every difference is eliminated, knowing that victory can not be achieved for the nation that engages in fighting itself, and that the world does not respect except those who are enduring and strong people. We are enduring and strong by the support of Almighty Allah and dependent on the Divine strength.


Dear Brothers:

It was a blessing of Allah bestowed upon your state that
has performed its role in this blessed uprising against discord and
humiliation. God knows that in every step we have taken, we keep in
mind our deep-rooted people, recognizing their profound belief in
Allah, commitment to their Arabism, strong keenness on the unity of
the Arab and Islamic nation and its dignity. Praise be to Allah for
guiding and facilitating this. Then, thanks to the people for backing
and supporting it.


Dear Brothers:

During this difficult environment, strong winds of a financial
crisis have been blown upon us. We have had no hand in its making,
but its consequences have spread to threaten the entire world. We
have to face it up firmly and deal with it wisely. Thanks to Allah,
we have been able to make the homeland free of its worst
consequences. We are still watching the situation with caution and
vigilance. Undoubtedly, your country is participating, along with the
rest of the world's major countries in finding solutions to this
crisis, particularly its role in the Group of Twenty.


In the meantime, it is necessary for the process of development to
continue its progress in our dearest country. Also there should be
decisions to push ahead the wheel of development and there is a need
to deal with changes for the glory of our homeland and bringing about
achievements through all means for a decent life for our citizens.


This is our way and approach. We will proceed ahead on this path
supported by Almighty Allah and inspired by the Divine strength and
determination, working tirelessly for making a bright and prosperous
future for Saudi Arabia, thriving with love and tolerance, and being
proud of religion and faith.
Allah's Peace, mercy and blessings be upon you."
