Saudi Arabia is proud of its achievements and position on international, Islamic and Arab arenas and its influential role in achieving regional and international security and peace, stated Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Defense.

Speaking on the 88th National Day, the Crown Prince took the opportunity to recall the achievements of the country’s founder King Abdul Aziz and his sons. He praised the growth and prosperity achieved under Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman.

“We are proud of developmental achievements and economic prosperity and social security thanks to the efforts of its sons and daughters,” he said.

The Crown Prince stressed that the kingdom will remain steadfast in the principles of tolerant Islam, a religion of moderation, and in fighting extremism and terrorism.

Saudi Arabia will continue to “protect Islam’s principles of tolerance, and continue its war on terrorism,” he said.

The Prince warned that no one will be allowed to attack the sovereignty of the kingdom or tamper with its security.

Prince Mohammed recalled that success and achievements were possible thanks to the establishment of transparency and justice to promote integrity and fight corruption and the efforts to achieve Vision 2030.

Vision 2030 “looks forward to the future,” and seeks to place Saudi Arabia “at the forefront of countries with continuous follow-up, guidance and support from King Salman,” added the Crown Prince.

He concluded by thanking God “for His generosity toward our country to serve the Two Holy Mosques and care for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and visitors.”

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
