Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah urged on Tuesday unity among the people to protect the country from internal and external conflicts.

In his address to the fourth ordinary session of the National Assembly's 15th legislative term, he called on them to cast away their differences and work together for a better future, reported the Kuwait news agency (KUNA)

He said that the region was passing through an exceptional and unprecedented phase with conflicts and instability in nearby countries.

As a result, the people of Kuwait must take into consideration the importance of national unity and solidarity to overcome any obstacle that may bring harm to the country, he stressed.

On the Gulf Cooperation Council dispute and the situations in some parts of the Arab world, Sheikh Sabah said the Gulf countries and Arab world must overcome differences and prioritize the interest of the people otherwise they meet an “ill fate” that had befallen other countries.

Moreover, he warned against the use of social media and other outlets to create discord and promote sectarianism.

He called on the National Assembly to take proper steps focusing on the development of Kuwait and its people in cooperation with the government, stressing that the executive and legislative branches were both established to serve the interest of the public.

Sheikh Sabah renewed his confidence in National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim and Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, wishing them success in their duties.

The Saudi government underscored on Tuesday the importance of respecting Syria’s sovereignty and independence, reiterating its statement at the extraordinary meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Ministerial Council.

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

The government also rejected foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs, renewed support for the Palestinian people and urged the need for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The cabinet was briefed on Saudi Arabia’s talks with friendly nations over the past week, including the message received by King Salman from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The cabinet discussed regional and international developments, and emphasized the Kingdom's continuous efforts to foster cooperation through bilateral relations, and its membership in multilateral organizations and groups. All its efforts aim to address global challenges, promote security, and advance prosperity in the region and beyond.

Minister of Media Salman Al-Dossary expressed the cabinet's strong condemnation of the ongoing violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. It unequivocally rejected and condemned any attempt at altering Jerusalem's historical and legal status, calling on the international community to hold the Israeli authorities accountable for the grave violations against innocent civilians and Islamic holy sites in Palestine.

Moreover, the cabinet highlighted Saudi Arabia’s latest economic assistance to Yemen, saying it reflects the Kingdom's commitment to stability in the country and helping the Yemeni people.

The support aims to strengthen Yemen's economic, financial, and monetary foundations, build the capacity of government institutions, and empower the private sector to drive sustainable growth and create job opportunities.

The cabinet reviewed the performance indicators of several key economic sectors in the Kingdom, and commended the significant growth of the non-profit sector, which plays a crucial role in supporting healthcare, education, research, and other vital areas, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 goals.
