RIYADH: Observers in the Saudi capital have expressed optimism regarding the trip of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif to New York to address the UN General Assembly session.
They said that his participation in the 71st UN General Assembly meeting could help bring about solutions to various issues in the region at present.
“He has the best interest of the Kingdom in mind and attending the UN General Assembly meeting is good for the region,” said Abdulrahman Al-Mahdali, 60, Arrawadi Company general manager.
He added that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif is doing the right thing in going to New York to participate in the UN General Assembly meeting.
Abdulaziz Al-Dosari, 49, and GM of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority’s scholarship and dispatch department, said that his participation in the UN General Assembly could bring about positive results.
“It could pave the way for the cessation of fighting in Yemen with the legitimate government functioning normally to serve Yemeni citizens,” he said.
He added that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif could also play a role to end the hostilities in Syria, which has resulted in the death of countless people. Estimates of deaths in the Syrian civil war vary between 301,781 and 470,000.
Others added that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif’s attendance at the UN General Assembly meeting could also result in alleviating the refugee crisis.
“Many of the refugees died at sea while escaping from the raging war in Syria. This is exacerbated by the fact that countries where they have sought refuge had turned them down,” they said.
They added that “this has made the refugees helpless and pitiful.”
“In this connection, we hope that Crown Prince Mohammed’s trip to attend the meeting of the UN General Assembly will bring positive results,” they said.

Saudi defense minister receives Mukalla port director, thanks him for heroic role
- Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port
RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman received the director of the Port of Mukalla Salem Basamir on Tuesday.
In a post on social media platform X, Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port.
The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen carried out a limited airstrike in December targeting foreign military support at the Port of Mukalla in the Hadramaut governorate, where calm has been restored after a period of tension.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency following the strikes, coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki said two ships coming from the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates entered the Port of Mukalla without obtaining official permits from the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition.
“The crews of the two ships disabled their tracking systems and unloaded a large quantity of weapons and combat vehicles to support the Southern Transitional Council forces in the eastern governorates of Yemen (Hadramaut and Al-Mahra) with the aim of fueling the conflict. This is a clear violation of the truce and the pursuit of a peaceful solution, as well as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2216,” said the spokesman.
