Jeddah - Arab Today
Jeddah Gov. Prince Mishaal bin Majed launched the second stop of the five-day convoy of the King Abdullah Exhibition 2018 “Values and Wisdom” tour at the Red Sea Mall.
The launch event was attended by Prince Turki bin Abdullah, CEO and member of the board of trustees of the King Abdullah International Foundation for Humanitarian Activities; Prince Bandar bin Abdullah, board member; and Prince Badr bin Saud.
Prince Mishaal said: “King Abdullah was a great father and human before being a king. His accomplishments will not be forgotten because he reached large and small cities and towns. Despite his short tenure as king, new universities were opened all over the Kingdom. That is why his tenure is unforgettable, with prosperity and progress for this country.”
Prince Mishaal said the convoy’s tour around the Kingdom would contribute to establishing the late king’s march firmly with the young, although his biography is well known.
Prince Turki said: “The objective of this introductory convoy of the King Abdullah Exhibition 2018 is to shed light on the deep-rooted values in which the late king believed. This shows the late king’s care for noble values and principles, and his sponsorship of science, economy and heritage in the service of the homeland and citizens.”
In its second stop in Jeddah, the convoy contains three caravans highlighting King Abdullah’s legacy, as well as photos and belongings of his leadership and political life. The convoy allows visitors to create audio-video messages about the late king in a special section to be published later.
