Saudi Arabia Advocates Global Unity, Hosts Peace Talks, and Prepares for Severe Storms Amidst Regional Turmoil
Saudi Arabia promotes global unity at international conference while preparing for severe weather and advancing humanitarian initiatives.
At the 10th Alliance of Civilizations Conference in Lisbon, Saudi Arabia, represented by Deputy Foreign Minister Eng. Walid Al-Khuraiji, emphasized the need for global unity and diversity, highlighting initiatives like Vision 2030 and expressing readiness to host next year's session.
Meanwhile, a ceasefire in southern Lebanon, facilitated by the US and France, is holding steady between Israel and Hezbollah, although it notably excludes the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Back in Saudi Arabia, residents are bracing for storms as the General Directorate of Civil Defense anticipates severe weather, with warnings of thunderstorms and potential flash floods expected across various regions until Sunday.
In other developments, Saudi Arabia continues to foster international relationships with Europe; Vice Speaker of the Shoura Council Mishaal Al-Sulami welcomed a delegation from the EU to discuss cooperation and advancements under the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia's humanitarian projects through KSrelief are advancing in Yemen and Somalia, focusing on education by launching the third phase of the Back to School project, benefiting thousands and providing job opportunities.
Finally, the US and France's diplomatic efforts in the Middle East have achieved a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, though challenges remain as they continue to seek a resolution to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
