Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman held in Riyadh talks on Monday with Chairman of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi.

Their meeting focused on United Nations efforts to extend the nationwide truce that expired on October 2.

Prince Khalid tweeted that the talks tackled efforts to extend the ceasefire “to achieve the security and stability of Yemen.”

The meeting was held at the directives of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The officials also covered the latest developments in Yemen and “the future steps to deal with potential changes there.”

The UN is still pursuing its efforts to renew the two-month truce that expired after the Yemeni parties failed to agree on its extension. It was first adopted in April and was renewed twice before expiring.

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.
