The Saudi government underscored on Tuesday the Kingdom’s keenness on bolstering collective Gulf work.

The government reviewed the outcomes of the 44th session of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Supreme Council, saying the Kingdom was keen on achieving integration and coordination between all Gulf countries in all fields.

The cabinet expressed its gratitude to Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, in spearheading the Kingdom’s bid to host Expo 2030. Riyadh won the bid, reflecting its pivotal influential role and its international standing.

The cabinet reiterated its gratitude to the voting countries and hoped that people from around the world will take part in this event and witness the progress underway in the Kingdom in various fields under its Vision 2030.

The ministers reviewed the official visit carried out by Crown Prince Mohammed to Qatar, underscoring the talks he held with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The talks underlined the strength of fraternal relations between their countries and their joint drive to deepen cooperation and coordination over issues of common interest.

They hailed the outcomes of the seventh meeting of the Saudi-Qatari coordination council and the agreements that were signed between Riyadh and Doha.

The cabinet expressed its deep sorrow over the death of Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Nawad al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah. It congratulated Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah on assuming rule in Kuwait, wishing him success in serving his country and people.

Media Minister Salman Al-Dosari said the government tackled conferences and meetings that were hosted by the Kingdom in recent days, praising the signing of some 80 agreements and memoranda of understanding during the International Labor Market Conference.

The deals will help in keeping pace with the transformations in this sector and invest in opportunities it opens up.

The government praised the outcomes of the visits carried out by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Kingdom. The results reflect the unique relations Saudi Arabia boasts with Brazil and Russia and its determination to bolster cooperation with them in various fields.

The government reviewed Saudi Arabia’s political and humanitarian efforts to stop the Israeli aggression of Gaza and protect civilians. It stressed that it will continue to provide aid to the fraternal Palestinian people to ease their suffering.
