Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet, chaired by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, reiterated on Tuesday the Kingdom’s call urging the international community to extend the arms embargo on Iran.

At the outset of the session, King Salman thanked the leaders of Arab, Islamic and friendly countries who expressed their wishes for his health and citizens for their prayers and good wishes for the success of his surgery and a speedy recovery. The Cabinet members also congratulated the King and on this occasion and wished him good health.

The Cabinet also reviewed the latest statistics of cases recorded in the Kingdom as well as the health care being provided to the infected.

The Cabinet praised the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to stand by the brothers in Lebanon by offering them aid and assistance after the Beirut port blast through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief).

The Cabinet reviewed a number of issues and developments of events on the regional and international arenas. The Cabinet also referred to the contents of the final communiqué and the declaration of Partners for Sustainable Peace in Sudan, which was issued by the eighth meeting of the Friends of Sudan that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hosted via video conference.

The Cabinet also reiterated the Kingdom's keenness to complete its efforts to achieve security, stability, peace-making, and development in Yemen.
