The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired the Cabinet session which was held at Al-Yamamah palace in Riyadh today. At the outset of the session, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques briefed the Cabinet on the messages, discussions and consultations he made over the last few days with a number of State leaders and State envoys on bilateral relations and latest regional and international developments, including the meeting he held with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain and the discussions he held with President Lee Myung-bak of the Republic of Korea. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques also briefed the Cabinet on the audiences he held for the Guests of Al-Janadriyah and General James N. Mattis, Commander of U.S. Central Command. In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA) following the session, Dr. Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen, Minister of Social Affairs and Acting Minister of Culture and Information, said the Cabinet expressed appreciation and thanks to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for his generous care and concern for supporting the cultural activities and cultural march in the Kingdom and the Arab world as well as promoting the inventors and talented in the scientific fields. In this regard, the Cabinet noted the King's patronage of the 27th National Festival for Heritage and Culture in Al-Janadriyah, stressing the important contents of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' speech during the audience he held for the guests of Al-Janadriyah in which he gracefully voiced the Kingdom's welcome for every human being who cherishes his faith, homeland and Arab and Muslim nations. The monarch pointed out that the world's trust in the United Nations has, no doubt, shaken due to its failure in dealing with the Syrian crisis. In his speech, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques stressed that States, be what they may, could never rule the world which should otherwise be ruled by reason, justice and moral principles. --More
