The foreign policy of Saudi Arabia is based on the principle of the non-interference in the affairs of other countries and the non-interference by other countries in the affairs of the Kingdom, according to Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz, Deputy Foreign Minister. Prince Abdul Aziz was speaking here Wednesday evening when a number of officials and diplomats came to greet him and congratulate him on his appointment as Deputy Foreign Minister. Prince Abdul Aziz also said that “Saudi policy is based on the principle of boosting historical relations with countries for the mutual benefit and interest of all parties concerned”. “Another factor to be remembered is that these historical relations are based on trust and the protection of cordial relations from any factors that might affect them,” he said. He also expressed his thanks and appreciation to Prince Saud Al-Faisal, Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the confidence he placed in him by nominating him for the post of Deputy Foreign Minister, which has been approved by King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Prince Abdul Aziz said that he prayed to Almighty Allah to help him to fulfill his task in a way that will satisfy the aspirations of the leadership, stressing that this can only be achieved by everyone working together in order “to serve our beloved country and Faith”. “I will do my best to effectively represent Saudi policy. And I would like to make it clear that I will listen carefully to any opinion, because those who marginalize the opinions of others will never succeed,” he said.
