The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today warned that the Arab region is witnessing unprecedented dangers and threats which led to the loss of security and stability in a number of countries and threatens others in the region, noting that such threats would not be confronted by a single country whatever its capabilities. Constructive and effective cooperation among all countries is the only way to achieve such confrontation, the Kingdom confirmed. Speaking at the opening of the Regional Security Conference on the challenges facing the Arab region, Prince Dr. Turki bin Mohammed bin Saud Al-Kabeer, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Multilateral Relations, who also leads the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's delegation to the conference, drew the attention to the terror-related threats which, he said, trigger the need for activating cooperation to wipe out the terror organizations, citing the behavior of IS group and other terrorist groups as an example of what would happen if they happened to overwhelm even a narrow area. He refuted the terrorists claim of belonging to Islam or planning to enforce Sharia law, citing their flagrant violations of human rights in the name of Islam. He gave an account on Saudi Arabia's record in fighting terrorism with excellent performance. He said Saudi Arabia has joined all international and regional agreements and treaties seeking to fight terrorism and dry up its sources of finance. On the other hand, he confirmed that peace and stability would never be achieved through piling mass destruction weapons or threatening neighboring countries or using force or interfering in others internal affairs, but through cooperation, building of confidence, consolidating the ties of understanding and friendship among peoples and taking into consideration the interests and security concerns of neighbors. In this regard, he said that Iran will have the right to obtain atomic energy for peaceful usage under UN complete supervision and according to the international required standards embargoing the production of nuclear weapons. He concluded that Arab countries should go for constructive cooperation in the political, economic and security fields, as per the Arab League charter and other bilateral cooperation agreements between Arab countries.
