The Saudi government stressed on Tuesday the Kingdom’s support for efforts to bolster joint cooperation between countries around the world.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Jeddah.

The cabinet was briefed on the content of the messages Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received from the presidents of Guinea and the Maldives, which both discussed ties.

The cabinet discussed the overall work of the state in recent days, especially efforts exerted to strengthen cooperation with different countries and organizations, and to improve the speed and effectiveness of collaborative work.

It praised the results of the first strategic dialogue between Saudi Arabia and the World Health Organization (WHO). Both sides agreed to continue coordination and identify joint initiative.

They emphasized the commitment to supporting international efforts and continuing cooperation to improve regional and global health and deal with health crises.

The cabinet reviewed the latest regional and global developments, and discussed Saudi Arabia's ongoing diplomatic efforts with other countries and international organizations to support Sudan, including the delivery of humanitarian aid and putting an end to hostilities. These efforts are in line with the decisions of the previous Jeddah talks and with international humanitarian law.

Moreover, the ministers reviewed the performance of several government agencies that demonstrated great progress in serving citizens and residents, improving digital platforms, boosting the quality of life, facilitating business practices, boosting competitiveness, and increasing efficiency.

The cabinet commended the launch of a program to upgrade major avenues and ring roads in Riyadh, to improve transportation and the flow of traffic, and to help the capital’s growth and economic development. These improvements will solidify Riyadh's position as a leading global metropolis.

The government also deemed the stable inflation rate of 1.5% in July as evidence of Saudi economy's resilience and of the effectiveness of measures taken to counter global price increases.

Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Closure of UNRWA Schools in Jerusalem

Saudi Arabia expressed the strongest condemnation of the closure orders issued by Israeli authorities against six schools operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed in a statement the Kingdom’s unequivocal rejection of the Israeli occupation authorities’ ongoing intransigence and systematic targeting of UNRWA, and humanitarian and relief efforts—particularly in light of the continued silence from the international community.
The Ministry urged the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in the face of Israel’s ongoing violations against the Palestinian people, emphasizing that silence in the face of such actions only exacerbates the crisis and further undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace in the region.
