The Saudi government reiterated on Tuesday the Kingdom's condemnation of the terrorist attack that targeted Abu Dhabi International Airport on Monday.

The Kingdom stands in complete solidarity with the United Arab Emirates against all threats against its security and stability, it said after holding a virtual meeting chaired by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

It added that Saudi Arabia, through its leadership of the Arab coalition, will continue to confront all attempted terrorist attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen and their threat to regional and international security and peace.

The cabinet was briefed on the message King Salman received from Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and the official talks carried out by Saudi Arabia with a number of countries.

The ministers highlighted last week's International Mining Conference that was hosted by Riyadh. They reviewed the memorandums of understanding and issues that were tackled at the three-day event, as well as the future of the mining sector and Saudi Arabia's role in developing it in line with its Vision 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.
