SAUDI NATIONAL DAY

The Federal Labor Party would like to extend our best wishes all those celebrating Saudi National Day.

Today is an opportunity to reflect on the growing contribution the Saudi community is making to Australia’s economic and social success - success founded in a strong multicultural society.

There are over 10,000 Saudi-Arabian born people living in Australia and a growing number of Saudi students who are choosing to study here. These communities and students further strengthen the link between our two nations. This is something that is welcomed and celebrated.
