On 8 November 2026, the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Saudi Arabia, Robert Rostek, accompanied by Defence Attaché Colonel Artur Rochnowski and Lieutenant Colonel Jacek Nowak, attended the British Remembrance Sunday ceremony held at the British Embassy in Riyadh.

The ceremony brought together representatives of the Saudi authorities, members of the diplomatic corps, and veterans. Participants observed a two-minute silence in honour of the fallen, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony.

Ambassador Robert Rostek, together with Polish military representatives, laid a wreath to pay tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives during the First World War and to all victims of wars and armed conflicts, including Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine.

The ceremony served as a solemn tribute to those who gave their lives in service to their countries and as an expression of solidarity with the victims of ongoing conflicts around the world.
