The Arab Parliament hailed Thursday the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for negotiating with companies producing COVID-19 vaccines with an aim to provide them to low-income countries, such as Yemen and African states.
President of the Arab Parliament Adel bin Abdulrahman Al-Asoumi said the Saudi initiative, under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, is an extension of the Saudi humanitarian role to support friendly countries impacted by the pandemic.
The Kingdom, "as an active member of the international community, continues to play a humanitarian role by extending aid to countries devastated by wars and natural catastrophes,” he said.
The head of the Arab Parliament also praised the efforts of the Saudi government, led by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in facing the coronavirus pandemic, and its transparency in announcing the daily infections, in addition to the Saudi sense of responsibility to protect all citizens, including nationals and residents.
He also praised the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) for its role in achieving worldwide peace, ensuring support for affected groups and working to alleviate human sufferings.
A day earlier, Asoumi commended projects implemented by the Kingdom to help refugees, as well as services that KSrelief provides for Yemenis living in camps.
