Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan will inaugurate, on Sunday, the preparatory ministerial meeting for the extraordinary Arab and Islamic summit to be held in Riyadh on Monday, at the invitation of Saudi Arabia.
The summit is set to discuss the ongoing Israeli hostilities against the Palestinian and Lebanese territories, as well as the developments in the region. The ministers are also expected to discuss the draft resolution for Monday’s extraordinary Arab and Islamic summit, in preparation for presenting it to the leaders and coordinating positions among member states.

Asharq Al-Awsat obtained a draft of the meeting’s agenda, which reported that the opening session will be closed.
Speeches will be delivered by the Saudi minister, Hussein Ibrahim Taha, the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation; Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Secretary-General of the Arab League; Palestinian Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Mohammad Shtayyeh; and Abdullah Bou Habibi, Lebanon’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants.

In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, Taha emphasized that holding this summit in Riyadh is of great significance and strategic value, reflecting the strong commitment and concern of Saudi Arabia and all member states of the OIC and the Arab League in supporting the Palestinian people.
The summit affirms “the importance of joint Islamic action and its role in achieving unity, solidarity, and the coordination of positions, expressing the collective voice of member states, and strengthening their joint efforts in international forums", said Taha.

He stressed that the goal is to “mobilize the international community to halt the ongoing Israeli aggression, allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, hold the Israeli occupation accountable, and implement the two-state solution".

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
