The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the Council followed developments in international affairs and the continuous diplomatic efforts undertaken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in coordination with sister and friendly countries, to consolidate regional security that safeguards the stability of the region and preserves opportunities for development and prosperity for its peoples, without compromising on defending the nation and its sovereignty, or responding resolutely to any threat or aggression targeting its security and the safety of its citizens and residents.
Minister of Media Salman bin Yousif Al-Dosari, in his statement to SPA following the meeting, clarified that the Council reviewed the outcomes of the Kingdom’s participation in meetings convened under the auspices of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Group of Twenty, as part of its supportive efforts for multilateralism aimed at enhancing mechanisms for joint cooperation across various fields to serve mutual interests and contribute to finding effective and sustainable solutions to current global challenges, particularly those related to maritime navigation security, energy, food security, global trade, and supply chains.
The Council reaffirmed the Kingdom’s rejection of all violations threatening the security and safety of maritime navigation and global energy supplies, emphasizing the importance of the international community taking urgent measures to ensure maritime security, the flow of international trade, and the application of international law in this regard. The Council stressed that the Kingdom, despite the challenges facing the region, has continued to reliably supply energy to global markets, relying on long-term investments in infrastructure, storage facilities, and supply chains, and a system capable of handling changes with the highest technical and operational capabilities, thereby contributing to global energy security and the resilience of supply networks.
