He further noted, "The Kingdom has worked to establish the principle of collective action to build a better future for the region and the world through hosting a number of joint regional summits under the framework of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League, with the participation of all countries, including the Syrian Arab Republic, believing that solving the crisis in Syria will contribute to the stability of the region and the world."
On another note, the Saudi Foreign Minister stated, "The Kingdom emphasizes the importance of efforts that achieve the goal of nuclear disarmament, starting with acknowledging the necessity for the entire international community to fulfill its commitments to existing treaties and legal frameworks, with the aim of achieving a world free of nuclear weapons, especially in the Middle East."
