Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan opened his address at the United Nations General Assembly by praising Lebanon, saying, “We appreciate the Lebanese state's efforts to implement the Taif Agreement and restrict weapons.” He emphasized Riyadh’s support for Lebanon’s stability and sovereignty.
Saudi Arabia maintains a firm stance on the Palestinian cause, the Kingdom’s Foreign Minister told the UN, adding that it was about time to find a just and lasting solution to the plight.
Delivering Saudi Arabia’s address at the 80th UN General Assembly, Bin Farhan pointed out that approaching the Palestinian issue outside the framework of international and legitimate laws has contributed to the continuation of violence.
“The failure of the international community to take decisive measures to stop Israeli aggressions and violations will only contribute to destabilizing security and stability regionally and globally, opening the way for serious repercussions and the escalation of war crimes and genocide,” the top Saudi diplomat said.
Bin Farhan also highlighted the importance of Sudan’s stability and called for continued international efforts to resolve the ongoing crisis in Yemen, stressing the urgent need for a peaceful solution.
He stressed the importance of protecting the security, navigation and freedom of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and surrounding straits.
He commended Syria for steps toward recovery and urged Iran to cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency while adhering to nuclear non-proliferation commitments.
Bin Farhan emphasized combating terrorism and cutting off its sources, while warning of the risks associated with military uses of AI and autonomous weapons and calling for international laws to regulate them.
