Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin’s visit to the Palestinian Jordan Valley, saying the provocative move aims to expand illegal settlements in defiance of all international laws and resolutions.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said these violations undermine efforts to restore calm in the Palestinian territories.

It reiterated the importance of ending the war on Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, return of the displaced to their homes and allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Saudi Arabia called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in putting a stop to all flagrant Israeli violations against the Palestinian people and their territories, stressing the need to hold Israel accountable for its violations that are threatening regional peace and security.

Saudi Arabia and China commended the "robust" economic and investment relations between the two nations, a statement issued at the conclusion of the Fourth Meeting of the High-Level Saudi-Chinese Joint Committee in Riyadh said Thursday.

The statement said that with the aim of bolstering Saudi-Chinese relations, Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited Saudi Arabia to engage in discussions with Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

Talks focused on strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries across all fields. They also touched upon key regional and international issues of mutual interest.

“Both parties commended the robust economic, trade, and investment relations between the two nations, with Saudi Arabia being China's top trading partner in the Middle East and reciprocally, China being the Kingdom's foremost trading partner,” said the statement.

“Trade between the two countries reached $48 billion by June 2024, with Saudi exports to China totaling $24 billion and Chinese exports to the Kingdom also amounting to $24 billion,” it added.

During the meeting, the Saudi and Chinese delegations discussed ways to enhance cooperation across various fields, including politics, security, defense, energy, trade and investment, finance, science, technology, culture, and tourism.

Following the discussions, both the Crown Prince and Li signed the official minutes of the Fourth Meeting of the High-Level Saudi-Chinese Joint Committee.
