They commended the Kingdom’s achievements in all fields since the foundation of the Kingdom by the late King Abdul Aziz and his sons, the former kings until the era of King Salman. They stressed that the Kingdom would continue its march toward a comprehensive renaissance in light of Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program.

Culture and Information Minister Adel Al-Toraifi said the ministry is ensuring that Saudi cultural work acquires three elements of powers — creativity, persuasion, expansion — and employment of intellectual exercise to consolidate loyalty to the country, “which must remain rooted in the minds of successive generations.”

Al-Toraifi expressed his thanks to all ministry employees for their efforts, calling for the development of their skills and performance for serving their homeland and spreading its message.

The Council of Senior Scholars stressed that the Kingdom is based on a legacy, foundations, and pillars, making it a distinct country. “It is the country of the Two Holy Mosques and the first house established for the people as Qibla of Muslims.”

Governors highlighted the Kingdom’s achievements in all fields since its foundation, stressing the continuation of the march of a comprehensive renaissance in the light of Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian Airlines on Friday decorated one of its planes with a new slogan in green, inspired by the banner of Tawhid and the flag of Saudi Arabia, to fly around the Kingdom and the world. It took off from Jeddah to Riyadh en route to Dammam, Madinah and Jazan.

Saudia launched a package of activities and services under the slogan “Nation of Glory.”

A Saudia delegation will deliver cards to the command of the armed forces in Najran and Jazan and will also distribute them among the sons of the soil deployed on the front lines.

A two-day online competition was unveiled on Friday to win 86 tickets.

Saudia also offered a major discount on tickets on both domestic and foreign flights. It announced SR86 as a unified and symbolic value for one-destination flights to and from all internal stations on Saturday.

It also announced a parallel travel offer to and from international terminals, which includes a reduction of 50 percent, according to the published rates. The 10-day offer began on Tuesday and continues until Sept. 30.

The airline will also provide free Internet onboard.

Dubai, Jan 10: Iran denied on Thursday that a Ukrainian airliner that crashed near Tehran had been hit by a missile, Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei said in a statement, according to state TV.

"All these reports are a psychological warfare against Iran. All those countries whose citizens were aboard the plane can send representatives and we urge Boeing to send its representative to join the process of investigating the black box".

Sharjah, May 28: The Ministry of Interior has warned the public against visiting wadis during bad weather conditions, including rainy seasons, to avoid the risk of getting caught in flash floods that could endanger their lives.

A video posted on its official Instagram account depicted several such incidents involving cars being swept away by floods.

The warning comes after four people were found dead this week in Sharjah's Wadi Al Helo, an area hit by floods during heavy rains that lashed the emirate, authorities said.

The National Search and Rescue Centre (NSRC) found the bodies as it conducted an operation to look for seven people who were reported missing amid the unstable weather conditions.

In a separate incident yesterday, 20 passengers of a bus that got stuck in Wadi Hatta's Umm Al Nosor area in Dubai were also rescued by police after their vehicle was swept away by floods.

The ministry urged the public to follow the directives issued for their own safety.

Dubai, Jun 30: The UAE Embassy in India on Tuesday urged expats stranded in India to procure travel approvals from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) in the UAE ahead of their travel to the UAE.

It has also assured UAE residence visa holders that a no-objection letter to travel would be issued on a humanitarian basis, as long as the resident meets all conditions set by the government of UAE.

The UAE Embassy in New Delhi tweeted Tuesday morning, "The @UAEembassyIndia would like to draw the attention of the valid UAE residence permit holders currently present in India, to the necessity of obtaining necessary approval from the @ICAUAE while ensuring that all conditions set by the UAE competent authorities are observed."

It added, "Please note that UAE will issue no objection letter to travel in some humanitarian cases only that meet all conditions and requirements."

The embassy also affirmed its commitment to the decisions of the Indian authorities regarding the continued closure of airports in India, and implementation of some restrictions that do not allow foreign airlines to carry passengers.

"We express our thank for your cooperation and your understanding of the current global situation, and in case there is any developments in this regard, we will publish it on the official platforms of embassy (sic)," the Embassy tweeted.
