The Swiss President expressed his country's full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the face of the threats it faces, affirming Switzerland's support for all measures and decisions taken by the Kingdom to defend its territory, preserve its sovereignty, and ensure the security and safety of its citizens and residents.
The depth of Saudi-Swiss relations
This contact comes within the framework of the historical and strong relations that bind the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Swiss Confederation.

The importance and impact of international solidarity
The Swiss president's affirmation of the Kingdom's right to defend its sovereignty carries significant political implications both regionally and internationally. As a cornerstone of stability in the Middle East and a major global energy supplier, the Kingdom's security is of paramount international concern. This Swiss stance is part of an international consensus rejecting acts of aggression targeting civilian infrastructure and vital facilities, given their direct and negative impact on the global economy and supply chains.
The Kingdom's commitment to the stability of the region
For his part, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressed his appreciation for this noble stance from the Swiss leadership, which reflects the depth of the friendship between the two countries. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues its diplomatic and political efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region, while maintaining its legitimate right to deterrence and self-defense in accordance with international laws and conventions. These telephone conversations underscore the ongoing coordination and consultation between the leaderships of the two countries to enhance security and peace, and to work together to address the challenges that hinder development and prosperity in the region.
