RIYADH: Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan joined a series of meetings on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, including the G20 foreign envoys’ gathering chaired by South Africa.
Prince Faisal stressed the importance of international economic cooperation and the activation of multilateral institutions, foremost among them the UN and the G20, describing them as vital platforms for coordinating efforts to address political and economic challenges, SPA reported, quoting his remarks.
The foreign minister said that addressing global challenges requires genuine international solidarity and multilateral cooperation based on shared responsibility.
“The world today faces rising levels of inequality, global economic disruptions that have deeply impacted millions of lives, escalating regional and international tensions, and repeated violations of international law. All these issues threaten the stability of the international order and hinder the path of sustainable development,” Prince Faisal said.
Prince Faisal also participated in the ministerial-level meeting of the Arab Summit Troika with his South Korean counterpart Cho Hyun, who was also President of the UN Security Council for September.
They discussed ways to coordinate multilateral work to strengthen joint efforts serving regional and international issues during their meeting.
Prince Faisal also met with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel, where they signed a Memorandum of Understanding on political consultations.
They also talked about strategies to further enhance bilateral relations between their countries.
