Message Chairman, Royal Group of Companies, Nazir Ahmed
I take great pleasure in acknowledging that the Hajj operations 2016 have been the best I have experienced so far.
23rd September is a significant day in the history of Saudi Arabia. This is the day when H.M. King Abdul Aziz has laid foundation of the Kingdom and proclaimed that it would be celebrated as the National Day.
As Pakistanis it is a matter of pride for us that Pak-Saudi relationship is not only limited to the governments but is deeply rooted amongst the peoples of the two countries. And this profound relationship is manifested by the fact that contribution of Pakistanis supersedes all other nations in the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Pakistanis feel proud to work in Saudi Arabia where they are given preference over others by the Saudi employers. This fact is evident from the large number of Pakistanis working in the Kingdom.
The Pakistan is dotted with the monuments of the love and respect between the peoples of the two countries: For instance, the area in Karachi called Saudbad has been established by the support of King Saud during his visit some 55 years ago. H. M. Shah Faisal has visited the country many times and people distinctly remember his presence in the 1974 Islamic Summit Conference.
Famous industrial city Faisalabad has been named after King Faisal; one of the most important arteries of the Metropolis Karachi Shahrah-e-Faisal is also another testimony of this affinity; then Faisal Mosque – the largest mosque of the region – displays the bonds between two Islamic countries and our respect for the leadership of Saudi Arabia.
Pakistani leaders too have been visiting the Kingdom. One of the most important events in the history of Pakistan was the nuclear test. Before that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been to Saudi Arabia and consulted the leadership of the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia, like in all other difficult times, supported Pakistan and in this particular instance and showed their support by supplying oil to Pakistan gratis for two years.
Saudi Arabia has come forward to support bailing the people of Pakistan out of hard times. The 300-bed King Abdullah Hospital in Mansehra built after an earthquake here with the support of the Saudi Government is one illustration of the help constantly being extended by the Kingdom.
And by the grace of Almighty Allah Saudi Arabia has always chosen such personalities to represent the Kingdom at diplomatic front here who love and respect the people of Pakistan. One such personality is H.E. Abdullah Marzouk Al-Zahrani, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at Islamabad. Having spent four years previously in Pakistan H.E. is familiar with the culture and norms of the country.
H.E. Mohammad Abdullah Abdul Daim, the Consul General of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia posted at Karachi has contributed greatly in augmenting the Pak-Saudi relationship in the domain of diplomacy as well as trade and culture. H.E. Mohammad Abdullah Abdul Daim is esteemed by the business circle here to the highest degree.
Moreover, H.E. the Consul General and his (Saudi and Pakistani) staff have always gone out of the way to facilitate Pakistanis: no matter it is the matter of visas for Hajj or Umra pilgrims or employment overseas. Pakistanis are thankful to H.E. Mohammad Abdullah Abdul Daim who has himself has been approaching himself the applicants at the counter to listen to them and solve their problems.
