On behalf of Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the United Nations, Ambassador Abdulaziz bin Mohamed Al-Wasel, signed on Friday protocols to establish diplomatic relations with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Nauru.

The signings took place at the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom to the UN in New York City.

The step is part of the Saudi leadership's commitment to enhancing bilateral cooperation in various fields and building further bridges of understanding with UN member states.

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said on Thursday the crisis in the Middle East is a "collective genocide," and that establishing a Palestinian State is the only way to ensure peace in the region.
"It has become crystal clear that what is happening is genocide", he said during the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit in Doha.
The Emir emphasized that there can be no peace in the region without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The Qatari Emir also condemned Israeli air strikes and military operations "against the brotherly Lebanese Republic".
Israel launched an assault a year ago on the Gaza Strip after Hamas militants attacked southern Israeli towns. 
This week, Israel launched a ground incursion in Lebanon against Hezbollah, which has been firing into Israel in what it says is solidarity with the Palestinians.
