Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed on Friday that Moscow was keen on developing friendly relations with Arab countries in order to effectively confront challenges and threats.

In a cable to leaders at the Arab League summit in Jeddah, he stressed that Russia traditionally places “great importance on developing friendly ties and constructive cooperation with the nations of the Middle East and North Africa” in order to respond to threats and challenges facing modern humanity.

“We are determined to continue to support collective efforts to achieve peaceful solutions to severe regional issues, including the crises in Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Syria, while firmly respecting the sovereignty of nations and international law,” he added.

Moreover, Putin said Russia will continue to provide “all possible help to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict according to United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.”

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah received on Wednesday the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini.
During the meeting, both sides discussed the strong partnership between the Kingdom and UNRWA. They also reviewed recent regional developments and the ongoing efforts to address key challenges related to these issues.
In a related context, Arab reactions continue after Israel’s publications of maps annexing parts of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs slammed Israel’s “extremist” acts that reflect Israel’s “intentions to consolidate its occupation and continue its flagrant violation of the sovereignty of those nations.”
Saudi Arabia reiterated its call for the international community to fulfill its role in halting Israel’s violations against the countries and peoples of the region.
The Kingdom emphasized the importance of respecting the sovereignty and borders of nations to prevent further escalation of regional crises and to support efforts aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace.

The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, also issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s maps publications, saying it “reflects a state of right-wing extremism and religious obsession prevailing within the Israeli government”.
