Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah underscored on Tuesday the Kingdom’s categorical rejection of any assault on Iraqi territory.
Saudi Arabia stands by Iraq in its fight against terrorism and extremism, he said at the second Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership, at the Dead Sea, Jordan.
Saudi Arabia stands by Iraq as it consolidates its security and protects its sovereignty, he added.
It backs its efforts to reclaim its historic standing as a land of civilization, learning and knowledge, he went on to say.
Riyadh supports Baghdad as its forges ahead towards a new phase that prioritizes national interests above all else, remarked the FM.
The Kingdom hails the political will in Iraq as it confronts challenges and consolidates security and stability to achieve the aspirations of the people, stressed Prince Faisal.
Saudi Arabia will not spare any effort in supporting Iraq’s economic and development ambitions out of its belief that the stability of Iraq will impact the entire region, he stated.
