Then, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud delivered the following speech: In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the seal of prophets and messengers, His Excellency Brother Recep Tayyip Erdogan President of the Turkish Republic, His Excellency the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Brothers attendance, Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah, I am pleased to extend my deep thanks and appreciation to the brotherly Turkish Republic as government and people under the leadership of His Excellency President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for hosting the 13th Islamic Summit and for the warm reception and organization, I would also like to extend my thanks to the Arab Republic of Egypt for its distinguished efforts during its Chairmanship of the previous session, and thank the OIC Secretary General and all its employees for their great efforts. Dear brothers: We are required to address the Islamic nation's causes topped by finding a just solution to the Palestinian issue in accordance with the Arab peace initiative and international legitimacy's resolutions, and put an end to the Syrian crisis according to the decisions of Geneva 1 and Security Council resolution 2254, as well as to support the existing efforts to end the Libyan crisis. On Yemeni cause, we support the efforts of the United Nations for the success of consultations to be held in Kuwait in implementation of Security Council resolution 2216. Dear brothers: Our reality today requires us all to come together more than ever to fight the scourge of terrorism and to protect the young generation from being under its fierce attack which aims to get it out from the logic of the true faith and be driven by those who are wreaking havoc under the name of religion, which is innocent of them. We have made a serious step in this direction to form an Islamic Military Alliance to fight terrorism, which includes 39 countries to coordinate all efforts through intellectual, media, financial and military initiatives based on the OIC's principles and objectives. The suffering of the Muslim world of conflicts and crises are represented in the blatant interference in the affairs of a number of Islamic countries and the sowing seeds of discord and division, as well as inciting sectarian strife and the use of armed militias to destabilize our security and stability so as to spread their influence and domination, that requires a strong position from us to prevent such interferences and maintain the security and safety of our Muslim world. May Allah Almighty help us all to what we aspire and look forward to reaching the solidarity and collaboration for the good of our nation and our peoples. May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. --More 13:54 LOCAL TIME 10:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
