Iraqi-Saudi-Kuwaiti discussions in Riyadh, 6 JUNE

 Iraqi-Saudi-Kuwaiti discussions in Riyadh

Shafaq News/ The Saudi capital hosted discussions that brought together Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Iraqi Fuad Hussein, and Kuwaiti Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated in a statement on the “X” platform that during the discussions, “ways were discussed to enhance and develop aspects of cooperation in many fields,” and “the ministers also touched on the importance of intensifying bilateral and multilateral coordination on issues of common interest.”

The meeting comes days after Prince Faisal bin Farhan met with Abdullah Al-Yahya in Kuwait, last Sunday, and issued an announcement about the outcomes of the second meeting of the Saudi-Kuwaiti Coordination Council.

The announcement said at the time that the two sides stressed “the importance of cooperation in the political fields and joint coordination at all bilateral, regional and international levels, and the crystallization of positions in a way that serves the common interests of the two sides, and in a way that brings security and stability to the two countries, their peoples, and the peoples of the region,” according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The last meeting between the Saudi Foreign Minister and his Iraqi counterpart was in the Chinese capital, Beijing, at the end of last May.

During the Beijing meeting, “ways to strengthen and develop relations in various fields were reviewed, in addition to discussing the latest developments in issues on the regional and international arenas, most notably the developments in the Gaza Strip and its surroundings and the efforts made in this regard,” according to SPA.
