Saudi Arabia, represented by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), and the United Kingdom successfully concluded their Strategic Dialogue on International Development and Humanitarian Assistance with a high-level plenary session on Tuesday.

The Dialogue, spanning two days of engaging discussions, served as a platform to address pressing global challenges in humanitarian aid and development.

During the talks, agreements were made to support the world’s most vulnerable, including people suffering in Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen, and Bangladesh.

Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom will continue to strengthen their humanitarian relationship with a side event at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Agreements were reached to further technical exchanges and share lessons learned, including through mutual hosting of project visits around the world.

Saudi Arabia expressed on Monday its condolences to the families of the victims, and to the people and government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, following the collapse of a mineral mine in the city of Rubaya that claimed the lives of more than 226 workers.

The Kingdom conveyed its solidarity with Congo, its government, and its people during this ordeal.

Congo's government said on Sunday it feared "at least 200 dead" in a "massive" landslide that struck a militia-held mine in the country's east.

Since its resurgence in 2021, the M23 armed group has seized vast tracts of the DRC's resource-rich east, capturing the Rubaya mine in North Kivu province in April 2024 with Rwanda's help.

The mine produces 15 to 30 percent of the world's supply of coltan, a key component in the production of electronics such as laptops and mobile phones.

Thousands of artisanal miners work daily in precarious conditions in Rubaya's pits, most equipped with simple shovels and rubber boots.
