Saudi Arabia renewed its firm stance against the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the need for an immediate ceasefire, the delivery of relief aid, and the prevention of forced displacement of Gaza's inhabitants.
On behalf of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Vice Foreign Minister Waleed el-Khereiji participated on Friday in the opening of the 19th summit of leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries in Uganda.
Khereiji delivered the Kingdom's speech, which he began with the greetings of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the heads of state and government participating in the summit.
The official explained the significant rise in global conflicts, undermining the sovereignty and stability of countries, prompting collective efforts to achieve peace.
He underscored the Kingdom's firm stance against the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Khereiji highlighted that the Palestinian file will remain on the agenda of the organization’s numerous meetings until an independent Palestinian state is established on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, under relevant international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
He also touched on the increase in extreme climate conditions worldwide, citing the Kingdom's environmental initiatives. These include the Saudi and Middle East Green Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with Vision 2030 objectives.
The deputy participated in the opening session of the summit which discussed effective solutions to the significant global political and economic challenges and multilateral cooperation to enhance international peace and security, with the participation of leaders and representatives of brotherly and friendly countries.

Under the patronage of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Muslim World League (MWL) will host the second edition of the Global Conference for Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects in Makkah next month.

The conference, themed "towards an effective Islamic convergence," will bring together leading muftis, scholars, intellectuals, and representatives from senior Islamic councils, jurisprudential academies, and religious institutions across different sects and denominations on the sixth and seventh days of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

The conference serves as a unified platform for fostering constructive dialogue among diverse Islamic traditions and coordinating efforts and resources to strengthen Islamic unity while ensuring mutual respect for doctrinal diversity. It aims to overcome sectarian disputes that have historically led to division and conflict, promoting fraternity and cohesion through practical, impactful initiatives.

This year's conference marks a critical step in transforming the principles outlined in the inaugural conference—through the "Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects" Charter—into actionable programs. Discussions will address pressing issues, particularly enhancing intra-Islamic dialogue and cooperation.

A key highlight of the conference will be the launch of the encyclopedia of Islamic intellectual convergence, prepared by the intellectual protection center (Feker) in Saudi Arabia at the request of the scholars of the Building Bridges Charter. The encyclopedia, developed with contributions from 60 distinguished Islamic scholars and thinkers, aims to serve as a comprehensive guide to common Islamic principles.

Additionally, the event will witness the unveiling of the strategic and implementation plan for the "Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects" Charter, along with several key initiatives and programs designed to advance its objectives.
