Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman held talks in Riyadh on Monday with British Defense Secretary Dominic Raab.

The officials discussed the unique bilateral ties and strategic partnership between their countries and ways to bolster them, especially in the defense field.

They also reviewed Saudi and British efforts to protect the region against any threats and their roles in consolidating international peace and security.

They tackled the developments in Yemen in wake of Saudi Arabia’s offering, earlier this year, of a comprehensive settlement to resolve its crisis.

The initiative will pave the way for a permanent and comprehensive political solution. More pressure must be exerted on Iran-backed Houthi militias to make them join efforts to resolve the crisis peacefully.

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression on Syrian territory, including Israel’s recent deadly bombardment of the town of Koya, the Saudi Press Agency said on Thursday.

The Jeddah-based organization described the attack as a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, international law, and the United Nations Charter.

The General Secretariat stressed the need for the United Nations Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities and address these continuous attacks, reaffirming the OIC's solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic.

An Israeli attack killed six people in southern Syria and left several innocent people injured on Tuesday.
