Deputy Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations Dr. Khalid Muhammad Manzalawi said in a speech that the kingdom is committed to the principles of the UN Charter through its efforts based on three main pillars: justice, development, and human rights protection.
In a report by Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, Manzalawi said the kingdom would take every action that would promote the culture of peace and tolerance.
