"We discussed the current developments in Iraq; we expressed our concern over the continuation of current security and political deterioration which lead to bad consequences not only in Iraq but to the stability and security of the whole region," Prince Saud said. He reiterated the keenness of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support the regional and International efforts to achieve the security and stability of Iraq, its sovereignty independence and Unity of its territories. "The success of such efforts can be achieved through social justice and the National Unity among all Iraqis. The Iraqi Government assumes great and historic responsibility to reach the goals far from foreign interventions. The issue of foreign intervention was a major discussion point in the meetings of Iraq's neighboring countries and also in the Sharm el-Sheikh International Convention on Iraq. We are looking for tangible results of the plans and programs agreed upon in these meetings," he added. "We discussed the Lebanese Crises and the continuation of tension despite major economic and political support for Lebanon and the extensive Arab League and International efforts to resolve the Lebanese crises. We urged all Lebanese parties to resort to rationality and wisdom and give the priority to national interest as well as resolve their political issues through dialogue and national constitutions to preserve the unity stability and development of Lebanon free from foreign intervention which does not seek prosperity for Lebanon and its people," he said. "We discussed the regional nuclear file and the importance of Gulf region and the Mid-East to be free from nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction reiterating from our side the solution of the current conflict with diplomacy far from acceleration of tension." Prince Saud expressed the satisfaction of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the joint Saudi-U.S. cooperation in countering terrorism and fighting this malicious phenomenon and the importance of the continuation of joint cooperation until terrorism is uprooted.
