Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Your Majesty,

It is with great sadness that I learnt of the passing away of King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, custodian of the two Holy Mosques & King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Islamic and Arab world has lost an outstanding leader. The Late King not only strengthened the dynamic progress of Saudi Arabia, but also strove ceaselessly for peace and security in the Middle East and throughout the world. The people of Sri Lanka held His Majesty in high esteem as a dear friend and a firm supporter of our country's national development.

At this time of great sorrow for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I extend to your Majesty, the Government and the people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the bereaved royal family the deepest sympathies of the Government and people of Sri Lanka and my own profound condolences.

Please accept, Your Majesty, the assurances of my highest consideration.
