Riyadh: United Nations Secretary-General Ant³nio Guterres affirmed in a press statement to the Saudi Press Agency that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has maintained its firm commitment to providing humanitarian assistance, particularly during these challenging times in which humanitarian aid is, regrettably, no longer as widespread globally as it once was.
According to Saudi Press Agency, this followed Guterres' meeting today with Advisor to the Royal Court and Supervisor-General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, at the center's headquarters in Riyadh.
Guterres noted that KSrelief stands as a prominent model of generosity, dedication, efficiency, and the exceptional quality of services it provides to those affected and most in need in numerous countries, including Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and others. He added that visiting the center offers a clear view of the remarkable humanitarian work it carries out and reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to this noble approach.
He further explained that he had witnessed the launch of the center when he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, adding that since then, strategic cooperation has continued between the center and UN humanitarian agencies. He praised the center's success in building an extensive global network of partnerships, demonstrating its professionalism and leadership in humanitarian work.
