The President of Senegal affirms to the Crown Prince his country's support for the Kingdom's security
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a telephone call from His Excellency President Bassiro Diomae Faye, President of the Republic of Senegal, during which they discussed the developments of the current situation in the region and emphasized the depth of the bilateral relations that bind the two brotherly countries.
During the call, the Senegalese President expressed his country's full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the face of the aggression it has suffered, emphasizing Senegal's categorical rejection of any threat to the Kingdom's security and stability. His Excellency affirmed his country's support for all measures taken by the Saudi leadership to safeguard its territory and the safety of its citizens and residents, noting that the Kingdom's security is an integral part of regional and international stability.
The depth of Saudi-Senegalese relations
This call comes within the context of the deep-rooted and historic relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Senegal, as the two countries enjoy close fraternal ties that extend back decades. Senegal is considered a strategic partner of the Kingdom in the West African region, where the two leaderships share similar views on many Islamic and international issues. The Kingdom has long been a major supporter of development projects in Senegal through the Saudi Fund for Development, in addition to close cooperation within the framework of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
The importance of international solidarity in light of regional tensions
This contact is particularly significant given the delicate circumstances in the region and the current military escalation, as Senegal's position reflects the broad international support enjoyed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its leading role in promoting peace and security. Analysts point out that the solidarity of African and Islamic countries with the Kingdom underscores its pivotal position as a cornerstone of stability in the Middle East and the Islamic world.
For his part, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciated this noble stance from His Excellency the President of Senegal, which reflects the sincerity of brotherly feelings and the strength of the ties that unite the two peoples and countries, stressing the Kingdom’s keenness to continue its efforts aimed at calming the situation and sparing the region and its peoples the dangers of wars and conflicts, while preserving its full right to defend its sovereignty and capabilities.
This ongoing communication between the two leaderships is evidence of the high-level joint coordination to confront security and political challenges, and to strive towards achieving sustainable development and prosperity for the two brotherly peoples, at a time when global challenges require international solidarity and continuous coordination between influential countries.
