The Saudi government stressed on Tuesday the importance of bolstering the international system so that it can repel chaos and conflict.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the cabinet meeting in Jeddah.
The government also underlined the need to provide the framework for peaceful cooperation and coexistence between countries given the challenges and crises the world is facing.
The cabinet reviewed the latest regional and international political developments and the talks held between Saudi Arabia and various countries.
The ministers reviewed the outcomes of the Kingdom’s participation at regional and international meetings, as part of its efforts to support collective work and build bridges of coordination and solidarity to establish a world where prosperity, growth, security and stability prevail.
Moreover, the cabinet renewed the Kingdom’s commitment to boosting international cooperation to ban weapons of mass destruction and prevent their proliferation.
It made that position during the meetings of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The cabinet emphasized the organization’s role in maintaining international peace and security and the full and effective implementation of all provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
The cabinet “strongly condemned the continuation of genocidal massacres against the Palestinian people, reiterating the demand for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and the protection of unarmed civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories.”
It stressed the need to “activate international accountability mechanisms for the continuous Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and international legitimacy resolutions.”
Domestically, the cabinet reviewed performance reports of several key sectors and their continued leaps in competitiveness and international indicators. It praised the Kingdom’s achievement of second place among the Group of Twenty (G20) countries for the second consecutive time in the 2024 ICT Development Index issued by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
