Saudi Arabia's presence among the founding or signatory states lends the Council considerable momentum and credibility in international circles, facilitating its work in addressing hotspots of tension and conflict through constructive dialogue and peaceful solutions, rather than confrontation.
Expected regional and international impact

The Kingdom's participation in this council is expected to contribute to strengthening mechanisms for joint Arab and Islamic action and to present impactful initiatives for resolving regional conflicts. Internationally, this step positions the Kingdom among the leading nations in peacemaking and enhances its partnerships with UN and international organizations concerned with human rights and international justice.
In conclusion, Saudi Arabia’s signing of the Charter establishing the “Peace Council” is a clear message to the world that Riyadh is on its way to becoming a capital of peace and tolerance, and that it will spare no effort to achieve global stability, based on a rich historical legacy and an ambitious future vision that places humanity and its well-being at the forefront of its priorities.
