Saudi Council backs Cyprus in territorial dispute

RIYADH (Agencies): Saudi Arabia’s Council of Ministers expressed on Tuesday the Kingdom’s full support for Cyprus’ sovereignty over its territories.

Cyprus is currently in a dispute with Turkey after Ankara continued to pursue oil and gas drilling in territory which is recognized as Cypriot.

After the meeting, which was chaired by King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the minister of media said that the Kingdom is following the recent developments in the Middle East with great interest, adding that the council expressed its concerns for security and stability in the region.

Turki al-Shabhanah also renewed the Kingdom’s call for all parties to abide by the UN Security Council’s resolutions to resolve any dispute, in order to maintain international peace and security and stability.

The meeting was held to discuss the “Women, Business, and the Law” report that was issued by the World Bank, and the Kingdom’s classification as the economy that made the biggest progress globally toward gender equality since 2017.
