Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated on Monday in the outreach session of the second G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Italy’s Fiuggi held with counterparts from several Arab countries, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, and the Secretary General of the Arab League.

During the session titled "Stability in the Middle East," Prince Faisal emphasized the importance of fostering multiple partnerships to address regional and international challenges.

In his statement, he highlighted the developments in Gaza and Lebanon, calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities by urgently pushing for an immediate ceasefire, ensuring the unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid, and advancing efforts to establish an independent Palestinian state through the two-state solution.

He underlined the need to de-escalate tensions in Lebanon while respecting its sovereignty. Prince Faisal also stressed the urgency for finding a permanent solution to the crisis in Sudan to alleviate human suffering.

The session was attended by Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Italy Faisal bin Sattam bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
