The Saudi government renewed on Tuesday its rejection of all forms of violence, terrorism and extremism.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet session that convened in Riyadh.

The cabinet also announced its solidarity with the governments of all countries suffering from terrorism, adding that it supports the measures they take in safeguarding their security and stability.

It expressed Saudi Arabia’s strong condemnation of the bombing in Mosul, northern Iraq, the suicide attacks in the Somali capital Mogadishu, the bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, and the stabbing attack in Melbourne, Australia.

King Salman then briefed the ministers on his meetings with each of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nayhan, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and the British Prime Minister’s special envoy Simon McDonald.

The cabinet also hailed King Salman on his tour of the al-Qassim and Hail regions last week where he inaugurated a number of development projects.

The tour reflected his constant interest and support in providing services to the citizens on the Kingdom.
