JEDDAH: The Cabinet during its weekly meeting on Monday called for concerted global efforts to fight the plague of terrorism, which is categorically rejected by all religions and international norms.

Vice Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Prince Mohammed bin Naif, who chaired the meeting at Al-Salam Palace, briefed the Cabinet on the outcome of the talks Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman had with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain.

Adel Al-Toraifi, minister of culture and information, said the Cabinet reviewed a number of reports on regional and international developments, as well as the international efforts in several fields, foremost among them the fight against terrorism.

In this regard, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman led the Saudi delegation to the 2nd meeting of the international coalition against Daesh, which was convened in Washington DC last week.

The meeting discussed several issues, including the strategic objectives and ways of confronting the spread of Daesh outside Iraq and Syria.

Al-Toraifi said the Cabinet reiterated the Kingdom's strong denunciation and condemnation of the terrorist explosion that ripped Kabul, and the armed attack that took place in the German city of Munich and took the lives of innocent people.

It conveyed the Kingdom's condolences to Afghanistan and Germany, wishing the injured speedy recovery.
