RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday congratulated Armenia and Belize on their independence day celebrations.

In a cable, King Salman wished Armenian President Vahagn Garniki Khachaturyan “continued health and happiness,” and the government and people of Armenia “steady progress and prosperity.”

He also made a similar wish in another cable to Belize Governor-General Froyla Tzalam.

Crown Prince Mohammed, who is prime minister of Saudi Arabia, likewise sent similar well-wishes to the president of the Caucasian country and the ruler of Belize.

Belize, located on the eastern coast of Central America and formerly known as the British Honduras until 1973, gained independence from Britain on September 21, 1981.

Armenia, a nation of 2.78 million, declared independence from the former Soviet Union on September 23, 1991.
