Bashir, Prince Saud said that the Kingdom is part of the Islamic and Arab worlds. In this context, the Kingdom is participating with Islamic and Arab communities in condemning this decision. Such decision will not lead to the stability of Sudan or the solution of the problem of Darfur. The decision is "politically motivated". If not, why did it appear in such time and in this format? In spite of the adverse results of the decision, we will stand with Sudan. I expect that all the Islamic and Arab countries will support the same thing. As regards his call to revive the joint Arab defense pact, Prince Saud said that this agreement is part of what has been introduced by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to reform the work of the Arab League and the Arab summit in particular and seriousness and credibility to give its work. Prince Saud wondered why such an important institution of the Arab League did not hold a meeting until now, stressing that the call is standing and hopefully will materialize. In response to a question about whether the Palestinians failed to agree among themselves, Prince Saud said if the Palestinians did not agree, who else would agree. If they did not agree, the issues will remain divided and their interests will be blown by the wind. In his reply to a question about not issuing a final statement of the Quartet Summit held in Riyadh and patronized by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Prince Saud said "I personally issued the statement which the summit issued". He pointed out that reconciliation steps have not yet been completed to give an integrated statement on the reconciliation subject, calling at the same time to wait until steps are completed. Whether the Arab reconciliation's expansion will include Saudi-Libyan relations, Prince Saud said that Arab disputes and disagreements are many and we do not want to count them, stressing that any rapprochement between two Arab countries will be in accordance with the approach proposed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques at Kuwait Summit. As regards the Turkish-Iranian rapprochement, Prince Saud said "Turkey and Iran are two Islamic countries. We do not consider this rapprochement as a threat to the security of the region. On the contrary, when more agreements are held among Islamic countries, the region will benefit more. Prince Saud described the Turkish role as positive.
