\"2016922113728845810471_saudi-crown-prince-told-the-un-general-assembly\"<\/a>Saudi Gazette, 22 Sep. 2016- NEW YORK \u2013<\/strong> Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Naif on Wednesday told the 71st session of the United Nations <\/a> General Assembly in New York that the Saudi Arabia was \u201cone of the first\u201d countries that suffered terrorism, way before the deadly Sept. 11 attack in New York in 2001.
\nHe said that \u201cSaudi Arabia was one of the first countries that suffered from terrorism,\u201d
\nThe Crown Prince said since 1992, Saudi Arabia had confronted 100 terrorism operations, including 18 terrorist attacks \u201cimplemented by elements linked to regional countries.\u201d
\nHe said \u201cbefore Sep. 11, Saudi Arabia had signed agreements with other Arab states to fight terrorism,\u201d and until now it is still \u201cwaging an unrelenting war against terrorist groups.\u201d
\nHe added: \u201cSaudi Arabia is now part of 12 international agreements to fight terrorism,\u201d and it heads in \u201cpartnership\u201d with the United States and Italy a group combating Daesh funding.
\n\u201cThe security apparatus in Saudi Arabia has foiled 268 terrorist operations, including operations against friendly states such as United States,\u201d Saudi Crown Prince said.
\nHe said combating terrorism should be a \u201cjoint international responsibility\u2026 We call for cooperation as per the international law and principles on which the UN was built, which equates the sovereignty of all nations.\u201d
\nThe Saudi Crown Prince also called on the international community to cooperate with the 40-member Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism (IMAFT), which was formed in late 2015. He also urged the UN to include IMAFT under its \u201cumbrella\u201d after Saudi Arabia funneled $110 million into the alliance to beef it up.
\nHe urged Iran’s regime to exercise a \u2018Good Neighbor policy\u2019 and not interfere in the internal affairs of regional countries.
\nHe said Iran was not offering \u201cenough protection as per international agreements\u201d after protesters stormed both the Saudi embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad in January this year. The storming of the Saudi embassy and consulate has led Riyadh to sever ties with Tehran soon after the incidents.
\nHe urged a political solution for Syria and the implementation of Geneva I accord, which stipulates a transitional government.
\nIn Yemen, he reiterated the Saudi position over UN resolution 2216 requiring the Iran-backed Houthis militias and their allies to withdraw from areas they occupied in 2014. He also said the Houthis continue to attack Saudi borders, using ballistic missiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
