Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Premier of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, confirmed that his country is keen that Afghanistan enjoys territorial integration and stability and national reconciliation, a basic condition he put for peace and stability to be brought about. In a speech before the International Conference on Afghanistan today, currently ongoing in the German former capital of Bonn, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia said the situation in Afghanistan is among the Kingdom's policy priorities, noting the depth of bilateral relations between the two countries. He said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would remain a pivotal and strategic partner of Afghanistan. He added that Saudi Arabia supports the Supreme Council for Reconciliation in Afghanistan, assigned by President Hamid Karzai to achieve reconciliation among all Afghani factions. Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz explained that the Afghani people are in dire need that the world community live up to their commitments towards their country. He said Saudi Arabia will support all resolutions and recommendations coming out of this conference as regards Afghanistan even after the withdrawal of the international forces by the end of 2014, renewing the Kingdom's rejection of a comeback of terrorism to Afghanistan in any form.
