The Saudi government welcomed on Monday US President Donald Trump's visit to the Kingdom on Tuesday.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.

The cabinet said it was optimistic Trump's visit will strengthen and expand cooperation and the strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and the US across various sectors in line with their mutual interests and visions.

Crown Prince Mohammed briefed the cabinet on the outcomes of recent talks with leaders of several brotherly and friendly nations that focused on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.

The cabinet reviewed regional and international developments and reiterated its firm condemnation of the Israeli authorities' announcement of their incursion into and control of the Gaza Strip and Palestinian territories.

It also condemned Israel's ongoing violations of international humanitarian law, reiterating the Kingdom's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people.

The cabinet welcomed the ceasefire agreement reached between Pakistan and India, stressing the Kingdom's continued commitment to working with international partners to achieve lasting peace between the two countries.

Moreover, the cabinet discussed progress in cooperation with international organizations and forums, emphasizing that the Kingdom's hosting of the Munich Security Conference Leaders' Meeting later in 2025 reflects its commitment to supporting multilateral approaches that promote international peace and security and address global challenges.

The cabinet highlighted Saudi Arabia's election as the Arab Group's representative to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council, saying it is a testament to its leading role and ongoing efforts in advancing the aviation sector at the local, regional, and international levels according to the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
