Brothers and Sisters:
The Kingdom plays an effective role at regional and international organizations and enjoys a global and regional respect that enabled the timely convening of historical summits in which many leaders of the brotherly and friendly countries participated and established a joint action aimed at achieving security and stability in the region and the world.
The Kingdom has continued its pioneering and effective role in combating phenomenon of terrorism and drying up its sources.
The Kingdom called for a political solution for the crises in the region and resolve its issues, topped by the Palestinian Cause and restoration of the Palestinian people's legitimate rights, including the right to establish their independent state which East Jerusalem as its capital.
On this occasion, I would like to reiterate the condemnation of the Kingdom and its deep regret of the US decision on Jerusalem which represents a blatant bias against the historic rights of the Palestinian people in Jerusalem, which have been guaranteed by the relevant international resolutions and have been recognized and supported by the international community.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom is working with its allies to confront the tendency of interference in the countries' internal affairs to fuel sectarian strife and undermine regional security and stability.
The Kingdom seeks to consolidate the values of tolerance and coexistence along with its effort for lifting the suffering of peoples.
My distributed speech included a comprehensive review of your government's internal and external policy and achievements over the past year.
I ask Allah Almighty to help us all to serve our dear Homeland .
Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
