I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing away of Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud. Prince Sultan’s service to Saudi Arabia, in his role as the First Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence and Aviation, will be remembered with great fondness and admiration.
On this sad occasion of grief, the Government and the people of the Maldives join me in extending our profound sympathy to Your Majesty, the Government and the people of Saudi Arabia.
