TOKYO: The Saudi embassy in Tokyo commemorated Saudi Arabia’s 94th National Day with a reception at a local hotel attended by approximately 400 guests, including Japanese government officials, business executives, diplomats, Saudi students, and Arab and Muslim community members. The ceremony began with the Saudi national song, performed by Nahomi Koyasu, followed by the Japanese anthem.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Dr. Ghazi Binzagr welcomed everyone and stated, “It was a day to be proud of our beautiful kingdom, its past, present, and future, and the vision of its leader who guided us to establish the firm foundations of our nation based on values of our Arab and Islamic identity, a Kingdom of peace and prosperity.
“Today, we have become a beacon in the worlds of science, industry, economy and trade, a destination for the dedicated, committed and honest, and a place where people from all over the world gather to work with great pride in our diverse institutions.”
Binzagr highlighted his future plans, saying, “Yesterday, we were an oil-producing nation. Tomorrow, we want to be an energy leader and an alternative energy powerhouse. We want to be the global logistics hub that connects the East and West, localising industry and technology. Our mission is to guide the globe towards a responsible digital transition while ensuring a good standard of living for all citizens.”
