The Crown Prince receives support from Spain and Mauritania for Saudi Arabia's security
Widespread international solidarity with the Kingdom under the leadership of the Crown Prince
Within the framework of ongoing diplomatic efforts and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s distinguished international standing, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Prime Minister, received important telephone calls from international leaders, most notably His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain and His Excellency President Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. These calls reflect the broad international solidarity with the Kingdom in confronting regional challenges and underscore Riyadh’s pivotal role in promoting international peace and security.
Details of contact with the King of Spain and historical relations
During the telephone call initiated by His Majesty King Felipe VI, the latest developments in the Middle East and their direct repercussions on regional and international security were discussed. The King of Spain affirmed his country's full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the face of the attacks it is experiencing, expressing his absolute support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to preserve its sovereignty, security, and stability.
Historically, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Spain have enjoyed close bilateral relations spanning decades, characterized by strategic cooperation across multiple fields, including the economy, defense, and culture. Spain is considered a key partner for the Kingdom in achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. This supportive stance from Spain is not new; rather, it is an extension of Madrid's consistent policy of standing by its strategic allies and its understanding of the importance of Saudi Arabia's stability as a cornerstone for the stability of the global economy and energy markets.
Mauritania's supportive stance and rejection of Iranian interference
In a related development, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received a telephone call from His Excellency President Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani of Mauritania. The call addressed the serious developments in the region and the repercussions of the current escalation on the security and stability of Arab and Islamic countries. The Mauritanian President clearly expressed Nouakchott's full solidarity with Riyadh and its strong support for the decisive steps it is taking to preserve its sovereignty.
The Mauritanian president also emphasized his country's strong condemnation of the repeated Iranian attacks against the Kingdom, which threaten the security and stability of the entire region. This stance reflects the deep fraternal and historical ties between Saudi Arabia and Mauritania, as the two countries stand shoulder to shoulder in various regional and international forums and coordinate their efforts within the framework of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to counter foreign interference in Arab affairs.
Strategic importance and expected impact
These contacts come at a crucial time, as the Middle East region faces complex security and political challenges that require concerted international efforts. The broad international support, from major European countries like Spain and Arab and Islamic nations like Mauritania, underscores the success of Saudi diplomacy under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Regionally, this solidarity sends a strong and firm message to all parties attempting to destabilize the region: that any threat to Saudi Arabia's security is a red line that the international community will not tolerate. Internationally, the Kingdom's stability is a true guarantee for the continued flow of global energy supplies, making its security an integral part of global economic security. The ongoing support from the international community strengthens the Kingdom's ability to move forward with its comprehensive development and reinforces its position as a force for stability and peace in the world.
