The Saudi government praised on Tuesday the pivotal role played by OPEC+ in achieving balance and stability in the global oil markets, and consequently, supporting the world economy.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Jeddah.

The ministers reviewed the discussions held at the 33rd OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting.

They were briefed on the messages received by King Salman and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, from South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol that tackled bilateral ties between their countries and ways of bolstering them in various fields.

The cabinet addressed Riyadh’s hosting of a regional office of the Airports Council International Asia-Pacific.

They said it reflects Saudi Arabia’s progress in the aviation sector globally in line with the objectives of Vision 2030 in attracting international companies and organizations to establish their headquarters in the Kingdom.

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.
