Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah held talks in Rabat on Wednesday with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita.

Talks focused on bilateral relations and means to develop them.

Speaking to the media, Prince Faisal expressed Riyadh’s keenness to boost the close ties with Rabat through constant coordination in all fields and in order to achieve their common interests.

The talks reflected the extent of the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Morocco over challenges facing the Arab world, he added.

He said foreign meddling and terrorism were among the top challenges, accusing them of destabilizing the region.

Such issues require common coordination and cooperation to confront and secure permanent peace in the region, he continued.

For his part, Bourita underlined the strength of the historic relations between Saudi Arabia and Morocco.

He expressed Morocco’s complete support for the positions Riyadh takes to preserve its security and sovereignty.

Saudi Arabia safety is a red line for Morocco, which will continue to support it at all arenas and international organizations, he stated.

Moreover, he stressed Rabat’s rejection of military intervention in Libya, saying it will complicate efforts to reach a peaceful solution to its crisis and will jeopardize the security and stability of North Africa and the entire Arab region.

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.
