They affirmed the solid distinguished relations between the two brotherly countries, as well as their constant coordination and consultation regarding their joint interests and issues of common concern. While reviewing the agenda of the 30th Arab Summit, they stressed the importance of coming up with resolutions and results that would consolidate joint Arab action and solidarity in the face of the challenges and dangers that pose a serious threat to the Arab Nation’s present, future, stability and the territorial integrity of its member states.

Any moves to undermine Syria’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights should be rejected, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman told the Arab League summit yesterday. US President Donald Trump last week signed a proclamation recognizing the Golan as Israeli, less than four months after saying Jerusalem is Israel’s capital.
