H.R.H. Prince Saud bin Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud 
Minister of Foreign Affairs 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 
 
 
 
 
 
Your Royal Highness, 
 
I have been saddened by the news of the passing of H.M. King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Custodian 
of the Two Holy Mosques and would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your 
family, both in my personal capacity and as EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs & Security 
Policy and Vice President of the European Commission. 
 
King Abdullah was a strong partner for Europe and a man of great vision. His legacy will be 
remembered in the European Union, as his reign was marked by a number of important steps 
towards the Kingdom's transformation. He has played a crucial role in the region with his 
courageous stance on seeking a sustainable solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict through the Arab 
Peace Initiative that he sponsored, and by his engagement for inter-faith dialogue. 
 
We in the European Union know and respect Saudi Arabia's strong commitment to ensuring the 
stability and prosperity of the Kingdom and to supporting regional peace and stability over the 
years. 
 
I am confident that under the leadership of H.M. King Salman, the deep and longstanding friendship 
between the European Union and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will continue to develop for the 
mutual benefit of our people and of all in the region.  
 
I very much look forward to our next meeting. 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
 
 
 
Federica Mogherini
