The ministers reiterated Saudi Arabia’s full solidarity with the brotherly countries attacked by Iran and stressed that the Kingdom stands ready to “mobilize all its capabilities to support any measures taken by these countries in response to these attacks that undermine regional security and stability.”
The conference reviewed the hospitality and facilities provided to GCC nationals stranded at Saudi airports, ensuring comfort in their adopted home until the situation makes it safe to return to their home countries.
