KSrelief chief discusses humanitarian work in Yemen with Polish parliamentarians

  • During the meeting, Al-Rabeeah gave a detailed explanation of the Kingdom’s support to Yemen and other affected and needy countries

Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, general supervisor of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), met on Friday with members of the Saudi-Polish Parliamentary Friendship Group in the Polish Parliament headed by a member of the Parliament, Bozena Kaminska.

During the meeting, Al-Rabeeah gave a detailed explanation of the Kingdom’s support to Yemen and other affected and needy countries. The number of projects provided by the center to Yemen amounted to 294 projects valued at $1.659 billion, in partnership with 80 local and international partners.

He also talked about the specific projects provided by the center in Yemen, such as the rehabilitation program for child soldiers recruited by the Iranian-backed Houthi militias, and the rehabilitation program, which benefited hundreds of Yemeni citizens who were severely injured by the planting of mines by militias.

Members of the Polish Parliamentary Committee expressed their happiness with the efforts made by Saudi Arabia to serve humanity in Yemen, which reflects the moral character of the Kingdom.

The members stressed the strong relationship between the two brotherly countries and that Poland stands with the Kingdom in all its endeavors to save the Yemeni people.

On Thursday, Al-Rabeeah met with Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Maciej Lang in the Polish capital of Warsaw.

Lang praised Saudi Arabia’s prominent role as an influential and leading player in the Middle East and the world, which was confirmed by the Kingdom’s positive and efficient humanitarian and relief activities targeting the Yemeni people.

‘Kingdom is on a path toward the light,’ says US Senator Graham after meeting Prince Khalid bin Salman

  • Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman is on an official visit to Washington

DUBAI: US Senator Lindsey Graham believes Saudi Arabia is on ‘a path toward the light’, in a statement he issued after meeting with Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, who is on an official visit to Washington.

“My engagement with Saudi Arabia over the past two days has given me a sense of confidence that the Kingdom – while it has its own interests – is on a path toward the light, not the darkness,” the senator said in his statement.

The senator also said he was looking forward to visiting Saudi Arabia soon.

 

 

“Over the years, I have developed a strong working relationship with Saudi Arabia. I know President Trump is a strong admirer of the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. I have seen the changes the Crown Prince has embraced and I have been impressed,” Graham said.

The US senator added that after meeting with Prince Khalid, and Saudi foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan earlier, “I am convinced that Saudi Arabia believes the best thing for the region is economic growth and prosperity.”

“Saudi Arabia wants to be a destination of choice in the future, so that people around the world to come visit what I think is an incredible country. Saudi Arabia wants to be one of the dominant forces in Al, which means the best and brightest minds will come. I am convinced that this is still the goal of the Crown Prince and the Kingdom.”

Graham also expressed appreciation to what the Kingdom was trying to do in Syria.

“They have openly said they are the friend of both the Syrian government and the Kurdish people. The attitude of seeking compromise rather than destruction, hopefully, will win the day,” the senator said in his statement.

Prince Khalid is expected to discuss Saudi-US ties and ways to strengthen during his visit, and earlier met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
