Cairo, Dhul-Hijjah 21, 1438 H., September 12, 2017, SPA -- Saudi Ambassador to Egypt Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz Qattan, who is also his country's Permanent Representative to the Arab League and the Dean of the Arab Diplomatic Corps accredited to the host country of Egypt, currently leading the Kingdom's delegation to the 148th session of the Arab foreign ministers in Cairo, said that Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, is keen to strengthen cooperation between Saudi Arabia and all the countries of the world. He added that the Kingdom is keen on the unity and sovereignty of Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Libya. Saudi Arabia is also keen on the safety of their territories, restoring security, advancing their march towards development and building as the political solution based on legitimate and international resolutions is the only way to solve these issues, he said. There is no need to repeat the official positions of the Kingdom on these issues which is well known to all. Qattan considered that the actions taken by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Arab Republic of Egypt against Qatar are sovereign measures, based on the wrong policies practiced by the Qatari Government over many years in supporting and financing terrorism and hosting those involved in terrorism on its territory, spreading hatred and interfering in the internal affairs of other states. The 13 demands submitted by these countries and the six principles are in fact meant to highlight the Qatari violations and call on it to abide by former agreements, he said, citing that Qatar did not abide by the Riyadh Agreement of 2013 and the Riyadh Agreement of 2014 and continued its negative and hostile policies towards the countries of the region. We have had to take these measures for the benefit of Qatar on one hand and our security and stability on the other, he said, citing that there are several Arab and international condemnations of these actions carried out by Qatar. -- More 21:57 LOCAL TIME 18:57 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w486090
