The Embassy of Saudi Arabia hosted friends of the Kingdom and the diplomatic community in Budapest at the InterContinental Hotel on the evening of 25 September.

In 1932, Prince Abdulaziz announced the unification of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, becoming the first king of the Kingdom, and the name of the state was then changed from the Kingdom of Hijaz and Najd to the new name that the country bears until the present day, which is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Speaking at the event, His Excellency Ahmed Yahya Al Dagreer, Charge d’affaires, underlined that his country can be an excellent example for all, as it is spending enormous energy in the service of development and environmental protection.

“The Kingdom has become a peacemaker, referred to in every forum, as it was able, through its distinguished international relations with all parties, to make decisions and present initiatives, which contributed to taking great steps to combat and refute terrorism and spread the culture of peace, tolerance, and dialogue among peoples and bringing viewpoints between parties closer to each other,” he underlined in his speech.

“I call on all companies in Hungary to seize the huge investment opportunities available in the Kingdom, and to enter the Saudi market, which is characterised by the facilities it provides to investors, in addition to the special economic zones that support a wide range of sectors and business activities that link the markets of the East and the West,” Al Dagreer said.

After the speech, the guests were able to watch a video about Riyadh Expo 2030, an important goal for Saudi Arabia, and the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which includes several futuristic cities with smart buildings, which were also shown to the audience.
