The Saudi government reiterated on Tuesday its absolute rejection of all attacks that threaten the security and stability of Iraq.

It stressed the importance of the international community standing against all Iranian violations of international laws, treaties and norms.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Jeddah.

The ministers were briefed on the messages King Salam received from various world leaders over the past week. The messages tackled boosting bilateral relations with Saudi Arabia and efforts to develop them in various fields.

The cabinet reviewed the participation of Saudi officials at a number of international meetings and events.

They highlighted Saudi Arabia’s election as a member of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and member of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The developments reflect the Kingdom’s influential role at international organizations and on the global level.

Minister of State, Cabinet's Member for Shura Council Affairs and Acting Minister of Media Dr. Essam bin Saad bin Saeed said the ministers praised Saudi Arabia’s rising up the ranks in three international indicators: the UN’s e-Government Development Index, the Global Innovation Index (GII) issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the education and knowledge indices in the World Digital Competitiveness Rankings 2022 report released by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD).
