Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have expressed their anticipation of working with the newly appointed UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg to find a comprehensive solution for the Yemeni crisis.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said the Kingdom would stand by the new UN envoy and backed all peace efforts to end the war.

“The Kingdom will continue to support all efforts to reach a political solution that helps bring peace and prosperity to Yemen,” Prince Faisal said on Twitter.

GCC Secretary-General Nayef Al-Hajraf reaffirmed that the bloc is ready to work with the UN’s new envoy to Yemen in finding a political solution to end the conflict in the country.

The secretary-general stressed the role of the UN envoy to Yemen in supporting regional and international efforts to reach the political solution sought by the Council, per the Gulf initiative and its executive mechanism; the outcomes of the National Dialogue Conference and Security Council Resolution 2216.

He also expressed his best wishes for the new envoy, saying he is looking forward to working with him to continue the international community’s efforts to find a comprehensive solution to the Yemeni crisis and achieve security and stability in the region.

On Friday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres named the Swedish diplomat Grundberg as his special envoy for Yemen, succeeding Martin Griffiths, a Briton.

For its part, the UAE also welcomed Grundberg’s appointment and reiterated its support for all efforts to find a peaceful solution towards ending the Yemeni crisis.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation praised the pivotal role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to bring about stability in Yemen. It also reaffirmed support for efforts made by the Kingdom to enhance peace and stability in Yemen and the region at large.

As part of the country’s policy to support the interests of the region’s peoples, the Ministry renewed the UAE’s commitment to standing by the brotherly people of Yemen and supporting their legitimate aspirations for development and prosperity.

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) laid the foundation stone for a project to rehabilitate and equip a center for medical and health education in Hama, Syria, under the supervision of the Syrian Ministry of Health.

The ceremony was attended by Director of the KSrelief Office in Jordan and Syria, Dr. Naif Al-Shammari, along with several officials, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

Saudi Ambassador to Syria Ghazi Al-Enezi said the project reflects the Kingdom's efforts to support the Syrian people through KSrelief.

He noted that it combines infrastructure development, the provision of medical and educational equipment, and training for healthcare personnel to improve the quality of healthcare and broaden its impact across Syrian governorates.

The project aims to establish a specialized training environment where doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals can update their knowledge and enhance their practical skills. The center also seeks to attract healthcare professionals from across Syria and support healthcare institutions and hospitals by providing them with qualified personnel.

The project is part of the humanitarian initiatives and programs implemented by the Kingdom through KSrelief to support Syria's healthcare sector and improve medical services for patients.
