Global experts to attend humanitarian forum in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh, Feb 16 (IANS/WAM) Global experts are slated to attend the first Riyadh International Humanitarian Forum here on February 26 and 27.
Organised by the King Salman Humanitarian and Relief Centre (KSrelief), the forum is the first of its kind to take place in the country, building on previous global humanitarian events to address changes to the humanitarian landscape and to formulate new practical and efficient responses which reflect the changing needs on the ground.
Bringing together professionals and key decision-makers from across the international humanitarian community, the two-day forum will be attended by high level global representatives from the UN, international and domestic NGOs.
Abdullah Al Rabeeah, advisor, Royal Court and Supervisor General of KSrelief, said on Thursday: “Historically, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken on a pioneering humanitarian role in serving the international community around the world…
“KSrelief has implemented 328 projects in 38 countries; the majority of our programmes have focused on Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Somalia. KSrelief’s 119 humanitarian partners include UN member agencies as well as many other international and national NGOs.”
Saudi Arabia, from all our decades of dedication towards the Kingdom, as always demonstrated many humanitarian involvements. Saudi Arabia has tried to unify all the Arab and Islamic groups all over the world to unify their cause for peace and stability throughout the region. Even on major issues of Oil production and pricing, Saudis have always played an important role in moderating their cause in the interest of Global neutrality and peace.
Being the custodians of Holy Places, the role of the Saudis in so many areas pertaining to the cause of normalcy, has played active role in negotiating with other nations, particularly in the Middle East with a view to achieve a mutually beneficial role.
We are therefore proud that Saudi Arabia has taken the initiative in promoting a Forum with a view to encourage many other nations to come up with a Humanitarian Forum with a view to share the global viewpoints and see in which way they can contribute towards the human related causes and purposes. let the Kingdom encourage so many nations to come up with new ideas that will benefit the entire population of the world so that there is more justice and peace all over the World, with a particular focus on the Middle East.
