The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Monday a cooperation agreement with a civil society organization to implement a water wells development and drilling project in the Hadhramaut, Hodeidah and Shabwa governorates in Yemen.

KSrelief Assistant Supervisor General of Operations and Programs Eng. Ahmed Al Baiz signed the agreement at the center’s headquarters in Riyadh.

According to the Director of the Health and Environmental Aid Department at KSrelief, Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Muallem, eight new wells will be drilled in the project intervention areas in the Yemeni governorates. These water wells will be connected to solar energy systems and equipped with 5-meter-high tanks to ensure access to water.

He added that nine more old wells will be rehabilitated and connected to solar energy systems, benefiting 65,300 individuals.

This agreement is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts through its humanitarian arm, KSrelief, to support the water and environmental sanitation sector and alleviate the suffering of the brotherly Yemeni people during their humanitarian crisis.

Saudi Arabia emphasized peaceful international cooperation as a means to achieve global prosperity, stability and security, stressing the importance of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the necessity of its full implementation.

Ambassador Abdul Mohsen bin Khothaila, the Permanent Saudi Representative to the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva, participated in the second session of the Preparatory Committee for the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference.

The ambassador called for more effective international efforts to achieve the goals and universality of the NPT, urging non-party states to join the treaty and subject all their nuclear facilities to the comprehensive safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Affirming the right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology under Article 4 of the Treaty, he underlined the importance of adhering to the highest standards of transparency and reliability, calling on all parties to cooperate to promote peaceful use for the benefit of global development and well-being.

He stated that the responsibility for making the Middle East a nuclear-weapon-free zone lies with the international community, especially the sponsors of the 1995 resolution on the Middle East.

Bin Khothaila condemned the recent statements and threats made by a member of the Israeli government regarding the use of nuclear weapons against the Palestinians, describing his words as violations of international law and a threat to global peace and security.

He further called for intensifying cooperation between the parties to the NPT to attain positive results at the next “review conference” in 2026, with the aim of achieving a safe world free of nuclear weapons.
