Saudi Press Agency

Washington, April 12, 2025, SPA -- The permanent representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations, Ambassador Dr. Abdulaziz bin Mohamed Al-Wasel, and the permanent representative of France to the United Nations, Ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont, co-chaired a briefing for UN member and observer states at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

The session discussed preparations for the upcoming high-level international conference on the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian cause and the implementation of the two-state solution, which is scheduled to be held in June under the joint chairmanship of Saudi Arabia and France.

In his remarks, Al-Wasel underscored that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state is the cornerstone for achieving security and stability in the region, affirming that the Kingdom's support for the two-state solution is a longstanding and unwavering position.

He also announced the formation of multiple working groups to address key issues related to the peaceful settlement of the conflict, and he called on member states to contribute their visions and proposals to support the conference preparations.

Al-Wasel noted that the UN conference constitutes a formal and comprehensive track to enhance international efforts aimed at reaching a just and lasting resolution.

Most UN member states and observer delegations from regional blocs expressed full support for the efforts led by Saudi Arabia and France to organize the conference. They reaffirmed their commitment to the two-state solution as the only internationally agreed-upon formula to resolve the conflict, stressing the need for tangible outcomes including the recognition of a State of Palestine. They voiced rejection of land annexation and forced displacement of Palestinians. They also underscored the importance of supporting the Palestinian government and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

Participating countries praised the Kingdom's leading role in supporting the Palestinian cause, its co-chairmanship of the conference, and its efforts to promote collective action and maintain the political and diplomatic momentum necessary for the conference's success.
