Mo'allemi delivered the Kingdom's speech in which he said,'' With passing away of the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the world has lost a shining star and a unique leader, as long as the world looked forward to his leadership; and he was a statesman as long as his hands touched human hearts everywhere''. He added, "The late King provided aid to hungry and needy people through the World Food Program and provided relief assistance to the victims and peoples affected by floods, natural disasters and epidemic diseases in all continents of the world. He was overflowing with love for peace, mutual understanding and communication between the peoples of the earth, so he launched his initiative for dialogue among followers of religions and cultures from this platform; and he was consistently the champion of the United Nations, its charter, principles and call for peace and harmony in the world". He pointed to a large number of leaders and heads of state who arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the past few days to offer condolences on the death of the late King and participate in the Kingdom's grief. --More 12:14 LOCAL TIME 09:14 GMT تغريد
