Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired on Tuesday a Saudi cabinet session that was held in Riyadh.

The ministers tackled the Kingdom’s foreign policy efforts at various regional and international events in recent days.

The efforts are aimed at addressing common challenges, most notably humanitarian and security efforts and addressing climate challenges.

The cabinet reviewed Crown Prince Mohammed’s telephone call with Algeria’s President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Saturday. The talks focused on means to develop joint cooperation between Riyadh and Algiers.

The cabinet also addressed the launch of the second edition of the Middle East Green Initiative Summit and the Saudi Green Initiative Forum that will take place in Egypt in November when the country hosts the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27).

The cabinet stressed that the two initiatives reflect the Kingdom’s commitment in supporting collective efforts in combating climate and environment challenges in the region and world.

In remarks to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Acting Minister of Media Dr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Qasabi highlighted the recent launch of the National Initiative for Global Supply Chains.

The initiative aims at strengthening the Kingdom's position as a major center and a vital link in global supply chains. It also aims at attracting quality industrial and service investments worth SAR 40 billion during the first two years of its launch. The initiative underscores the Kingdom's constant efforts to contribute to the stability and growth of the global economy.

The cabinet also highlighted the two agreements signed by King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) aimed at preventing and combating measles and polio outbreaks in a number of countries.

The cabinet discussed the Kingdom's participation in the high-level international conference on "International and Regional Border Security and Management Cooperation to Counter Terrorism and Prevent the Movement of Terrorists" in Tajikistan. The Kingdom’s efforts in this regard were highlighted at the regional and international levels.

Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha called for urgent international intervention to protect civilians from the ongoing Israeli aggression and the continuing genocide against the Palestinian people, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday.
In his address at the opening of the 40th ministerial session of the OIC Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation (COMCEC) in Istanbul, Taha underscored the committee's critical role in fostering economic cooperation among member states.
He reviewed a range of OIC initiatives aimed at bolstering social and economic collaboration to address developmental challenges within the member states.
Taha highlighted the substantial progress in trade among member countries and stressed the importance of effectively implementing trade programs and projects to meet the goal of achieving 25% intra-OIC trade by 2025.
Moreover, he emphasized the need to strengthen cooperation in the food and agriculture sectors, primarily to support rural communities in the least developed OIC countries.
Taha reiterated the importance of increased collaboration and synergy among all OIC member states and institutions to fulfill the organization's founding mission and objectives.
