French President Emmanuel Macron condemned to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz on Sunday the Iranian-backed Houthi militias’ firing of a ballistic missile against Riyadh last week, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

He stressed in a telephone call with the Saudi King the need to confront Tehran’s destabilizing actions in the region.

He underlined his country’s clear stance on Iran’s disruptive role, which is summed up in its backing of the Houthi militias and their armament with ballistic missiles to fire against the kingdom and destabilize the region.

Macron therefore voiced France’s support to and solidarity with the Kingdom against any security threat.

He thanked King Salman and the Saudi government for their efforts in combating terrorism and extremism and drying up their sources of financing. The latest example of this was the Kingdom’s contribution to counter-terrorism efforts in the Sahel region in Africa.

Saudi Arabia emphasized peaceful international cooperation as a means to achieve global prosperity, stability and security, stressing the importance of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the necessity of its full implementation.

Ambassador Abdul Mohsen bin Khothaila, the Permanent Saudi Representative to the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva, participated in the second session of the Preparatory Committee for the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference.

The ambassador called for more effective international efforts to achieve the goals and universality of the NPT, urging non-party states to join the treaty and subject all their nuclear facilities to the comprehensive safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Affirming the right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology under Article 4 of the Treaty, he underlined the importance of adhering to the highest standards of transparency and reliability, calling on all parties to cooperate to promote peaceful use for the benefit of global development and well-being.

He stated that the responsibility for making the Middle East a nuclear-weapon-free zone lies with the international community, especially the sponsors of the 1995 resolution on the Middle East.

Bin Khothaila condemned the recent statements and threats made by a member of the Israeli government regarding the use of nuclear weapons against the Palestinians, describing his words as violations of international law and a threat to global peace and security.

He further called for intensifying cooperation between the parties to the NPT to attain positive results at the next “review conference” in 2026, with the aim of achieving a safe world free of nuclear weapons.
