Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman al-Saud said on Saturday that Saudi Arabia has the capabilities to produce and integrate new forms of energy into the Kingdom's economy and exports.

The Kingdom doesn't see any contradiction between investing in energy and caring for the climate, he told Asharq TV.

“We seek to develop technologies that enable the consumption of oil and gas in environmentally friendly manner,” Prince Abdulaziz said in the TV interview.

“We strive to make Saudi Arabia a reliable source of all forms of energy,” he added.

Speaking at the Saudi Green Initiative in Riyadh on Saturday, Crown Prince Mohmmed bin Salman said the world's top oil exporter aimed to reach “net zero” emissions of greenhouse gases by 2060.

He also said it would double the emissions cuts it planned to achieve by 2030.

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.
