One More Question with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister, Adel al-Jubeir, came to the Council November 2. We asked him on which issue he thinks the United States and Saudi Arabia should work more closely together. See what he said.

 

"I believe the United States and Saudi Arabia should work more closely together on stabilizing the region. Because a stable Middle East is a positive tool of the international order. A stable Middle East will allow us to eradicate extremism and terrorism. A stable Middle East will allow us to prevent Iran from expanding its influence further in the region."
