In his speech the ambassador of Saudi Arabia H.E. Dr. Saad Alammar, stated that the theme of this year’s National Day is “We dream and achieve”. The phrase is a strong reflection of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which covers far-reaching economic, social and cultural reforms, providing a better quality of life for those living in Saudi Arabia and a supportive business environment for local and foreign investment.
It is the story of the transformation of the Kingdom that is reflected in the Mega projects that the Kingdom is betting on in its Vision.

And he continued by saying:
“Your Excellency, our distinguished guests, It is indeed my privilege to welcome you all this evening to celebrate our 93rd National Day.

Every year Saudi Arabia celebrates this day to commemorate the unification of the Kingdom on 23 September 1932 and its establishment at the hands of His Majesty King Abdulaziz bin Abdulahman Al Saud. Dear guests, we are here tonight to celebrate our National Day and our historic and close friendship that has bound Greece and Saudi Arabia for years.
Three years from now, Saudi Arabia and Greece will celebrate a century of diplomatic recognition that began in 1926 when the first Greek diplomatic delegation was sent to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since then, the two countries and their peoples have enjoyed friendly relations and interaction.
This year, in 2023, we celebrate another milestone in our diplomatic relationship and cooperation. It is 60 years since our Embassy opened in Athens in 1963. With the opening of the Embassy, our bilateral relations and mutual cooperation grew and continue to develop.
In recent years, bilateral relations between our two countries have gained tremendous momentum. The visit of the Prime Minister, H.E. Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in Riyadh in 2021, and the visit of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to Athens in 2022 confirmed the strategic nature of the Saudi-Greece relationship, his best level.


The strategic character of our bilateral relations is clearly seen in the close and continuous coordination and support in international organizations. As we know, Saudi Arabia has officially submitted its bid to host the World Expo 2030. This is a strategic priority for Saudi Arabia and we really appreciate the support we received from Greece in this matter and we are grateful for the support of its bid of Saudi Arabia.
Dear friends, I would like to conclude by emphasizing the fact that Saudi Arabia highly values its relations with Greece. There are great opportunities and huge gain for both countries to cooperate and be closer.
This will not only be good for the two countries, but also for the region as a whole. Thank you so much for joining us on this special occasion and God bless you all.”

At the reception, videos with tourism content from Saudi Arabia were shown. The festive atmosphere was completed with musical sounds from the East and the distinguished guests enjoyed varieties of rich culinary meals worthy of the country’s name.

A Tribute to the National Poet: The Embassy of Bangladesh’s Concert Featuring Dr. Nira Rahman

On the evening of Friday, November 10, 2023, the Embassy of Bangladesh in The Hague will welcome admirers of Kazi Nazrul Islam, the National Poet of Bangladesh, to a concert that celebrates the poet’s profound legacy. This enchanting event, organized by the embassy, will be held at the Humanity House and feature the remarkable Dr. Nira Rahman, a renowned Nazrul Song singer-researcher, and academic at Arts Teaching Innovation, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne. The evening will unfold with captivating melodies and thought-provoking insights, highlighting the enduring significance of Nazrul’s work.

Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976) remains an iconic figure in Bengali literature and culture, celebrated for his versatility as a poet, writer, and musician. His life story is one of resilience and commitment, as he fearlessly advocated for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed. Even in his youth, Nazrul ventured onto the battlefield, symbolizing his unwavering dedication to the causes of humanism and liberty. Nazrul’s legacy is further marked by his strong belief in secularism and pluralism, transcending religious boundaries, and promoting unity among all people. His songs, steeped in themes of love and rebellion, continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.

Dr. Nira Rahman, a dedicated vocalist and musician, brought Nazrul’s compositions to life with her exceptional performance. Her musical journey is deeply rooted in the principles of the Agra Gharana, and she is renowned for her semi-classical renditions and interpretations of traditional Bangla songs, particularly those composed by the “Ponchokobi” (the five poets). Dr. Rahman’s music is a fusion of her passion for literature and culture, influenced by her illustrious gurus, Dipali Nag and Wahidul Haque.

For Dr. Rahman, music is not just a performance; it is a form of prayer that allows her to express her innermost feelings and connect her physical and spiritual worlds. Her music is a celebration of her Bengali heritage, intertwined with the rich musical traditions of Indian classical music. She attributes the uniqueness of her music to the profound influence of her mentors and her academic work, which explores themes of language, culture, and identity representation.

In her role as an academic specializing in Educational Design and Student Engagement at the University of Melbourne, Dr. Rahman is committed to enhancing the inclusivity, applicability, and internationalization of arts and humanities education. Her work transcends the boundaries of the classroom, reflecting her dedication to fostering discussions on diverse and intersectional identities within the community and promoting inclusivity.

Dr. Nira Rahman’s contributions extend beyond the stage and the lecture hall. She is a published author in the Bangla language and a regular contributor to international media outlets, where she shares her insights on culture, language, and identity in both English and Bangla. Her multifaceted career is a testament to her commitment to bridging the gap between academia, music, and community engagement.

As His Excellency Riaz Hamidullah, Ambassador of Bangladesh to the Netherlands, expressed, “This concert is a testament to the enduring spirit of Nazrul’s work and the power of music to transcend borders and promoting unity.”

ICC Office of the Prosecutor partners with national authorities and international experts in the forensic identification and restitution of remains of victims in the Central African Republic

The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been involved in supporting the return of the remains of victims of alleged atrocity crimes in the Central African Republic (CAR). These remains were recovered during recent exhumations in the country, which were conducted in collaboration between the OTP, national authorities, and international partners.

The OTP has been conducting exhumations and forensic examinations as part of its investigations into crimes committed in CAR during the 2013 conflict. This work has been made possible through partnerships with organizations such as the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and the Columbia Law School Human Rights Clinic.

The effort has involved deploying more than 20 technical experts to CAR, including archaeologists, pathologists, odontologists, anthropologists, ballistic experts, and morgue technicians.

ICC Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan KC emphasized the importance of returning human remains to families as a crucial step in the process of human identification and as a tangible outcome of delivering justice. He expressed his condolences to the bereaved families and communities and highlighted the fundamental right of families to know the fate and whereabouts of their missing loved ones.

The OTP’s support for the identification and return of victims’ remains is part of a broader range of assistance that the Office is providing to CAR authorities, including the Special Criminal Court established to address alleged international crimes committed in the country.

The OTP expressed its gratitude to its partners, as well as national and local CAR authorities, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), and other collaborators who facilitated this important work. This effort not only contributes to justice but also provides closure and peace to the families affected by these alleged atrocities.

Trade delegation from Morocco despite earthquake

Despite the severe earthquake that struck Morocco on the night from Friday to Saturday, a trade mission with Moroccan government officials commenced this morning. They will be visiting several Dutch companies this week. Out of the sixteen expected attendees, three had to stay home because some of their family members were among the victims.

“Most attendees come from Agadir, which is approximately 250 kilometers from the epicenter. One of the participants mentioned that she woke up during the earthquake and ran into the street. “On Saturday morning, when we heard the news, we wondered if the mission should still proceed,” says mission leader Núria Vlonk Cunha Soares of the Netherlands-African Business Council (NABC). “The fact that these people, right after such an intense experience, are still willing to come to the Netherlands for the trade visit shows how important it is to them.”

Morocco is administratively divided into regions, and attendees on this mission represent the Souss-Massa region, with Agadir as its capital. The purpose of the visit is to persuade Dutch businesses to invest in the region. “Agadir is already well-known among Dutch companies because many of them are involved in horticulture,” Vlonk Cunha Soares explained. “During our visit, we will showcase how horticulture works in the Netherlands, how logistics are organized, and we will also introduce them to companies in other sectors they might be interested in, particularly in water management and energy.”

The festivities attracted an illustrious gathering, including Dutch officials, ambassadors from brotherly and friendly nations, members of the diplomatic corps, and secretaries-general of international organizations. The occasion not only commemorated Saudi Arabia’s rich history and culture but also underscored the burgeoning bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands.

Ambassador Al Atiyah, in his opening address, extended heartfelt congratulations on behalf of himself, his colleagues, and the Saudi citizens residing in the Netherlands to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, as well as to the Saudi people.

The ambassador’s words resonated with the audience as he highlighted the importance of preserving such cultural and historical landmarks.
