RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Climate Affairs Envoy Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir met with the president of the 77th UN General Assembly, Csaba Korosi, on Sunday.

During the talks, the two discussed the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts in preserving the environment and limiting climate change, as well as renewable energy.

The Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative were also discussed.

The meeting was attended by Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Wasel.

On Saturday, Korosi also met with the Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan to discuss pressing regional and global crises, including the current situation in Sudan.

Prince Faisal highlighted the Kingdom’s recent joint efforts with the US welcoming the start of pre-negotiation talks in Jeddah that urged the warring sides to work towards a ceasefire.

The two also discussed Palestine, where the prince emphasized the Kingdom’s firm and supportive position for the two-state solution.

Following the meeting with Prince Faisal, Korosi tweeted: “Partnership and cooperation are essential to resolve conflicts in Sudan, Syria, and beyond.”

Korosi was elected president of the 77th UN General Assembly on June 7, 2022. Prince Faisal congratulated him at the time in a speech, wishing him “every success.”

On Sunday, the foreign ministers of the Arab League conducted a meeting in Cairo where they adopted a decision to readmit Syria after more than a decade in the wilderness, having suspended the country in 2011.

The meeting was attended by Al-Wasel and the senior advisor for multilateral international relations, Dr. Abdullah Al-Tayer.
