Saudi Arabia's Cabinet affirms support for Palestinian return to Gaza, discusses regional and international security efforts, and highlights economic and diplomatic achievements.
The Saudi Council of Ministers, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reiterated its support for the safe return of displaced Palestinians to Gaza during a Cabinet session on Tuesday.
The government expressed full backing for the statement made at a recent Arab ministerial meeting, which opposed any forced displacement of Palestinians and emphasized the need for a lasting ceasefire and the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The session also reviewed various international engagements.
Crown Prince Mohammed briefed the Cabinet on his meetings with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and a phone call with European Council President António Costa.
The Cabinet discussed Saudi Arabia's growing collaboration with international partners to promote global security and regional development.
The Cabinet commended the successful conclusion of the second Saudi-Japanese strategic dialogue, further strengthening bilateral relations.
It also highlighted the positive impact of Saudi Arabia's hosting of the INTERPOL Regional Bureau, reinforcing its role in combating extremism and terrorism in the MENA region.
In terms of economic developments, the Cabinet reviewed the outcomes of Riyadh's recent economic gatherings, including the Global Labor Market Conference, where 70 agreements were signed to benefit over 300,000 individuals, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030. Additionally, the Cabinet acknowledged the strong international participation at the fourth Real Estate Future Forum, where numerous agreements were made to support the sector's growth.
Other key decisions included the transfer of authority over accounting and auditing licenses to the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (SOCPA) and several international cooperation agreements.
Notably, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was approved with Bolivia for political consultations, while MoUs were also signed with Tajikistan and Azerbaijan on mutual visa exemptions.
The Cabinet also approved various other agreements, including those in the fields of social development, health, and aviation with Qatar, Kuwait, Cuba, and the Maldives, as well as a MoU between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on cooperation in financial investigations related to money laundering and terrorist financing.
