Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Nayef al-Hajraf stressed on Saturday that Saudi Arabia demonstrated its pioneering and pivotal role through its presidency of the G20.

He hailed the major and extraordinary efforts that Saudi Arabia has exerted during its presidency for 2020 in spite of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

He noted that the Kingdom defied the challenges and held the meetings of the various working groups of the G20, which will boost global cooperation to confront future crises.

The presidency of the G20 is deserved and this great success is a landmark in the G20 path, he added.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz kicked off the G20 Leaders Summit on Saturday, describing 2020 as an “extraordinary year” and urging the leaders of the major economies to address the vulnerabilities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and rise to the challenge together.

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi has expressed his condemnation regarding the targeting of a World Food Program (WFP) aid convoy in the North Kordofan State in Sudan.

He characterized this assault as a grave violation of international humanitarian law and an unacceptable transgression of the rules and norms that safeguard humanitarian operations, SPA reported.

"The targeting of relief convoys and humanitarian workers is a reprehensible act that obstructs the delivery of vital assistance to those affected," he said, adding that such actions exacerbate the suffering of civilians, particularly given the dire humanitarian conditions currently prevailing in Sudan.

Albudaiwi also referenced the statement of the GCC Supreme Council’s 46th Session, which reaffirmed support for peace-building efforts aimed at preserving Sudan’s security, stability, and sovereignty.

The statement also underscored the commitment to political efforts to reach a ceasefire and achieve a political transition in Sudan through the establishment of an independent civilian government, fulfilling the Sudanese people’s aspirations for peace, growth, and stability.
