On Qatar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia Adel al-Jubeir described the issue as small if compared with the rest of region's files. He went on to say that there is a European understanding of the four states' boycotting of Qatar and the necessity that Doha changes its pro-terrorism policies.
Jubeir delivered a lecture at Egmont Research Institute in Brussels, on Friday -- he hailed the fact that the kingdom is cooperating with the world countries to dry up the funding sources of terrorism and is firm in supporting countries that are fighting terrorism and extremism.
Jubeir said that some countries in the region are facing great regional challenges, citing Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Libya, noting that there is a progress in the dispute file between Qatar and the four boycotting states, but the progress is still not enough, in a response to a question.
In the same context, Euronews broadcasted statements of Jubeir who said that Saudi Arabia is among the pioneering countries in fighting terrorism and extremism, and has also contributed to fighting terrorism in the United Nation (UN) and donated $110 million.
He added that Saudi Arabia established the Islamic coalition to fight terrorism and extremism, consisting of 41 states. The kingdom also established Saudi Arabian Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology (ETIDAL).
Responding to a question on development in the kingdom, he said that Saudi Arabia issued an ambitious vision (Saudi Vision 2030), which is based on diversifying economy, reducing dependency on oil, granting opportunities for the youths, enhancing the public sector performance and permitting additional chances to invest locally and abroad.
In a related matter, President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa received Jubeir, on Saturday, who in his turn conveyed greetings of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
