NEW YORK — Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan met Palestinian Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa at a high-level international conference focused on the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue and advancing the two-state solution. The meeting emphasized bilateral relations, regional developments, and coordinated international support for Palestinian rights.
Following their discussions, Saudi Arabia and Palestine signed three memoranda of understanding (MoUs) reinforcing Saudi support for Palestinian reform and development across key sectors.
The first MoU, targeting human capital development, was signed between Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and Palestine’s General Personnel Council. Saudi representative Eng. Ibrahim Bahamam and Palestinian Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Dr. Estephan Anton Salameh formalized the agreement.
The second MoU focused on educational curriculum development, leveraging Saudi Arabia’s experience in reform. It was signed between the Saudi Ministry of Education, represented by Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Ruwaili, and Palestine’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education, represented by Dr. Salameh.
The third MoU addressed digital transformation and ICT collaboration, signed by Saudi Deputy Minister Mansour Al-Qurashi and Dr. Salameh for Palestine’s Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy.
Together, these agreements demonstrate Saudi Arabia’s commitment to empowering Palestinian society, particularly its youth, by enhancing education, human resource capacity, and digital infrastructure. They also reflect the strong fraternal bonds between the Saudi and Palestinian peoples and leadership.
