The Foreign Minister delivered a speech at the forum, in which he affirmed that the region is going through a pivotal phase that requires enhancing dialogue, diplomacy, and joint action to face regional and international challenges, emphasizing that achieving lasting stability cannot be achieved through military force, but through sustainable diplomatic solutions that address the root causes of crises.

He explained that recent developments have shown the impact of regional tensions on the international stage, and their repercussions on global security, energy markets, and economic growth, calling for efforts to be directed towards preserving the existing international order and creating the necessary conditions for political solutions that lead to lasting security and peace, rather than merely settling for temporary de-escalation.

The Foreign Minister pointed out that building a more stable regional system requires commitment to the fundamental principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter, foremost among them respect for the sovereignty of states, non-interference in their internal affairs, respect for the principles of good neighborliness, ensuring freedom of navigation, and adherence to international law, stressing that these principles represent the foundation for any stable regional system.

The Foreign Minister affirmed that the region possesses great potential that qualifies it to achieve a more prosperous future, expressing his optimism about the possibility of overcoming current challenges, and noting that Saudi Vision 2030 is based on a firm belief that development, innovation, and creating opportunities represent the best path to achieving stability and avoiding conflicts.

He stated that investing in this phase requires working to establish a more cooperative and stable regional system, based on clear principles, mutual respect, and sustainable agreements that achieve peace, security, and prosperity for all.

In conclusion, the Foreign Minister highlighted the role played by academic forums, including the Gulf Research Forum, in deepening understanding, enhancing dialogue, and exploring ideas that contribute to supporting decision-makers and building a more stable, prosperous, and sustainable future for the region and the world.
