Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah hailed on Saturday the Asian tour of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. 

Crown Prince Mohammed had attended the G20 summit in Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Thailand and visited South Korea.

Prince Faisal said the tour reflects Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 that underscores cooperation with all friendly and fraternal countries with the aim of achieving goals and ambitions that bolster prosperity and growth in nations. 

Crown Prince Mohammed’s participation at the G20 summit is an extension of Saudi Arabia’s pioneering role in helping unite international efforts to combat global challenges, he went on to say. 

He highlighted the Kingdom’s 50-million-dollar support to the financial intermediation fund for health security, called the Pandemic Fund. 

The FM underlined Crown Prince Mohammed’s remarks at the APEC summit during which he expressed the Kingdom’s keenness on bolstering cooperation and join work in service of international peace and security and prosperity of the peoples of the region. 

Crown Prince Mohammed’s visit to Indonesia, South Korea and Thailand and his fruitful talks there express the keenness of Saudi Arabia and fraternal countries in bolstering bilateral cooperation in all fields and tackling challenges facing the world, stressed Prince Faisal. 

Crown Prince Mohammed was keen during his tour on intensifying cooperation with all parties, offering effective initiatives and solutions to protect mankind and the planet from climate change, he added.

Missile Debris Kills One in Abu Dhabi as Iran Presses Gulf Attacks

Falling debris from a missile intercept killed one person on Tuesday in the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi and injured two medical staff in Kuwait, authorities said, as Iran pressed its attacks against Gulf countries. 

The Gulf has borne the brunt of Iran's attacks in response to US-Israeli strikes that sparked the Middle East war, with Tehran targeting US assets but also civilian infrastructure. 

Debris fell in the Bani Yas area "following the interception of a ballistic missile by air defenses", the Abu Dhabi Media Office said on X. 

The day before a Palestinian national was killed on the edge of the city when a missile hit his car. 

As well as hitting ports, airports, residential buildings and hotels along with military sites across the region, Iran has also struck energy facilities across the Gulf. 

On the east coast of the country, the oil industrial zone of Fujairah was hit on Tuesday morning, sparking a fire but causing no injuries, local authorities said. 

It was the second day in a row that the site was hit, with a source telling AFP on Monday that oil storage loading had been shut down by an attack. 

In Kuwait, two medical staff were injured when shrapnel fell on an emergency medical center where they were working, the state's health ministry said. 

An AFP journalist heard several explosions in Doha on Tuesday and Qatar's defense ministry said it had intercepted a missile attack. 

Later, the country's civil defense said it was dealing with a minor fire in an industrial area following the interception, with no injuries reported. 

In nearby Dubai, an AFP journalist heard three explosions after a mobile phone alert warned residents of the United Arab Emirates' most populous city to "immediately seek a safe place" because of "potential missile threats". 

Iran has fired more than 1,900 missiles and drones at the UAE, more than any other country targeted by Tehran since the start of the war. 

The strikes have upended travel plans in the financial hub, despite its air defense intercepting the vast majority of projectiles.
