King Salman calls for political solution in Yemen during Shoura Council speech
RIYADH: King Salman gave his annual speech at the opening of the third
year of the Shoura Council’s seventh session on Monday, which lays the
groundwork for the consultative assembly to help move the country
forward.
King Salman said during his speech that Saudi Arabia stands with Yemen
and that the Kingdom supports a political solution for the country, in
accordance with the UN Security Council resolution and the Gulf
initiative. He added that it was not an option, but a duty to counter
the Houthi militia. The king also said Yemen’s internationally
recognized government had agreed to participate in future peace talks in
Sweden.
The king called on the international community to put an end to Iranian
activities which threatened the security and stability in the region,
saying that Iran had always intervened in the internal affairs of its
neighboring countries and was a sponsor of terrorism.
On the region, King Salman said the Palestinian issue would remain the
first issue until the Palestinians got their rights, and he called for a
political solution to the Syria crisis and an end to terrorist
organizations.
Having met with the Iraqi president on Sunday, King Salman said he
looked forward to continuing efforts to strengthening cooperation
between the Kingdom and Iraq.
He also said the Kingdom was working with OPEC members and non-OPEC
countries to achieve market stability, and said the country’s oil policy
was based on cooperation and coordination with oil producers.
King Salman said he has asked Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to focus
on developing human resources and preparing young people for future
jobs, saying Saudi citizens are the main engine of development in the
country and that goals for development plans in the Kingdom were being
achieved at a satisfactory rate.
