NEW YORK: At a time of heightened global polarization, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Friday called for more cooperation, saying: 鈥淣o one wants to be drawn into blocs.鈥�

His comments were made at New York鈥檚 MENA Forum, hosted by the Middle East Institute and Think Research and Advisory, on the sidelines of the 77th UN General Assembly.

鈥淲e need to discuss how we can strengthen our cooperation, how we can work closer together, how we can build an alignment that can insulate against this polarization, because none of us want to be drawn into blocs or into making choices,鈥� he said. 

鈥淲e want to talk about investment. We want to talk about innovation. We want to talk about progress. And we hope that our international partners will focus on that as well,鈥� he added.

The Kingdom recently brokered a prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine that saw almost 300 people, including 10 foreigners, returning to their homelands. 

The Saudi Foreign Ministry said the move was based on the support of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and in continuation of his efforts to adopt humanitarian initiatives toward the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

When asked about the Saudi stand on Lebanon, the foreign minister said: 鈥淭he Kingdom still cares about Lebanon, but the people of Lebanon have to decide what path they want to embark on, as clearly the current path isn鈥檛 working.鈥�

Another key issue he touched on was food security in the region. 鈥淔ood security is very much part of the conversation today,鈥� he said. 鈥淐oming from a water-poor country, we鈥檝e been dealing with these issues for many years.鈥�
