The Crown Prince receives expressions of solidarity from Chad and Senegal against Iranian threats
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received two important telephone calls from His Excellency President Mohamed Idriss Deby, President of the Republic of Chad, and His Excellency President Bassiro Diomay Faye, President of the Republic of Senegal, during which they discussed the latest regional developments and the military escalation taking place in the region.
Chadian solidarity and rejection of Iranian violations
During their first call, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discussed the rapidly evolving security situation with Chadian President Mohamed Idriss Déby. The Chadian President expressed his country's unwavering support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, affirming Chad's full solidarity with the Kingdom in the face of Iranian aggression. President Déby emphasized his country's categorical rejection of any violation of the Kingdom's sovereignty or any attempt to undermine its security and stability, considering the Kingdom's security an integral part of the security and stability of the Islamic world and the African continent.
Senegal confirms its support for the Kingdom's security measures
In the second call, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discussed with Senegalese President Bassirou Diomêne Faye the latest developments in light of the current military escalation. The Senegalese President expressed his country's full solidarity with the Kingdom in the face of the aggression it has suffered, affirming Senegal's support for the Kingdom and its backing of all measures taken to protect its territory and citizens, and to contribute to strengthening security and stability in the region.
The depth of Saudi-African relations
These contacts come within the context of the strong historical and strategic relations that bind the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the countries of the African continent. The Kingdom, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, places great importance on strengthening its partnership with African nations, as clearly demonstrated in recent Saudi-African summits and joint development initiatives. Chad and Senegal are pivotal countries in the Sahel and West Africa region, and they share close fraternal relations with the Kingdom based on ties of religion, history, and common interests.
The importance of international solidarity in light of regional tensions
This broad international solidarity is of paramount importance at present, as the Middle East region witnesses unprecedented tension and military escalation. The continuous communications from leaders of brotherly and friendly nations underscore the pivotal role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a cornerstone of regional and international security and stability. This diplomatic support also reflects the international rejection of any aggressive actions that threaten the security of global energy supplies and the safety of waterways, and highlights the Kingdom's leading role in unifying efforts to confront the security challenges plaguing the region.
