Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated in the first session of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Rio de Janeiro.

The minister indicated that the G20 countries bear responsibility to take decisive action to end the catastrophe in Gaza, which poses a threat to regional peace and prosperity and global economic stability.

He stressed the importance of condemning the atrocities committed in Gaza, urging the G20 countries to exert pressure for meaningful actions to end the war in Gaza and support a credible, irreversible path towards a two-state solution.

He emphasized the importance of international institutions fulfilling their commitments and being clearer in their positions, especially in dealing with the tragic situation in Gaza.

In his statement, Prince Faisal said the “escalation and spread of global conflicts have placed pressures on international cooperation and weakened the credibility and trust in the multilateral framework.”

He also congratulated Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira on his country's assumption of the G20 presidency for 2024.
