HAJJAH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s mobile medical clinics provided treatment services to the beneficiaries in Hajjah governorate, Yemen.
During Dec. 14-20, the clinics received 515 people with various health conditions. The clinics provided them with the necessary medical services. The clinics also provided 243 individuals with medications.
Meanwhile, Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, supervisor-general of the center, recently said that Saudi Arabia ranked first among donor countries in offering official development assistance to low and medium-income countries, with a total of SR26.71 billion ($7.12 billion), according to data published by Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The data showcased the official 2021 development assistance offered by donor countries — member states and states with associate memberships at DAC, where the Paris-based committee is considered the biggest forum.
Al-Rabeeah said that this assistance constitutes 1.05 percent of Saudi Arabia’s gross national income.
He said that by this proportion the Kingdom has topped the donor countries and surpassed the target approved by the UN General Assembly.

Saudi Arabia, India agree on mutual short-stay visa exemptions to boost bilateral exchanges

  • Agreement makes official travel easier between the 2 countries

RIYADH: In a significant move to cut through bureaucratic procedures, Saudi Arabia and India have signed a bilateral visa waiver agreement, with both countries agreeing on mutual short-stay visa exemptions to facilitate official travel and boost bilateral exchanges.

Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Suhel Ajaz Khan and Abdulmajeed bin Rashed Alsmari, the deputy minister for protocol affairs at the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, signed the agreement — the latter on behalf of Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan — at the ministry’s headquarters in Riyadh on Wednesday.

“The agreement will facilitate official travel and boost bilateral exchanges under the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council,” Khan told Arab News.

The agreement provides mutual exemption from short-stay visa requirements for holders of diplomatic, special and official passports from both countries.

It signifies a step forward in bilateral relations, making official travel easier for government, diplomatic and special envoys, and reflects the growing trust and cooperation between the two countries.

The deal is expected to streamline the movement of officials between the Kingdom and India and strengthen cooperation across various sectors under the strategic partnership framework established between the countries.
