Saudi cabinet prioritizes Sudan aid, ceasefire efforts in latest session

King Salman chaired on Tuesday the Council of Ministers’ session in Jeddah, which reviewed Saudi Arabia’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to support Sudan.

These efforts include delivering humanitarian aid and working to stop hostilities, in line with the outcomes of previous Jeddah talks and international humanitarian law. The Council discussed the Kingdom’s collaboration with international organizations to further these initiatives.

The Council also praised the results of the first strategic dialogue between Saudi Arabia and the World Health Organization, emphasizing continued bilateral coordination, joint initiatives, and support for global health efforts.

The Cabinet noted the stability of the inflation rate at 1.5% in July as evidence of the strength of the Saudi economy and the effectiveness of proactive measures to manage global price increases.
