Arab Nations Look to India as Key Player in Global Peace, Says Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador

Date:

New Delhi – Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to India Salih bin Eid Al-Husseini stated in New Delhi on Tuesday that Arab nations expect India to play a crucial role in ensuring lasting peace and stability in the world.

Diplomats from Arab countries came together in a program to show unity in support of Palestinians.

The diplomat hinted that dialogue with India is ongoing and expressed his desire for the Indian government to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

Every year on November 29, diplomats from Arab countries gather in India to demonstrate solidarity with Palestinians. On November 11, Saudi Arabia had called for a meeting of the Arab Islamic Summit.

In this summit, Saudi Arabia appealed to all countries in the world not to export weapons and ammunition to Israel. Saudi Arabia also called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

The appeal by Saudi Arabia received support from the Arab Islamic Summit, with all Islamic countries, including Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Morocco, endorsing it.

Following this, foreign ministers of Arab Islamic countries visited several nations.

The diplomat Al-Husseini, the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to India, said on Tuesday, “The visit of Islamic countries to various nations around the world, in support of Palestinians, is still ongoing.

It began with visits to Ukraine, Russia, Britain, and Paris. We also visited Spain. India is an important country, and we hope that it will play a crucial role in global peace and stability.”
