The Muslim World League (MWL) has welcomed Saudi Arabia's launching of the "International Alliance to Implement the Two-State Solution" on the sidelines of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly high-level week in New York.

In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, MWL Secretary General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa praised the historic initiative, announced by Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah on behalf of the Arab and Islamic countries, and European partners.

He urged all countries to join the initiative, which will contribute to reaching a just and comprehensive peace in the region, with a positive impact on the world.

Al-Issa expressed great appreciation for the great efforts exerted by the Kingdom, and for the historic progress achieved by its continuous, active drive, around the world, to mobilize international partners to support the Palestinian cause.
