The future of this consequential region of the world. I would like to thank our saudi hosts. A great deal has changed since i visited this region as Vice President. Around the world we are seeing efforts to undermine a rulesbased order with chinas course of actions and russias brutal and unprovoked war. With destabilizing activities in the middle east and critical changes. For the First Time Since 9 11, the american president is visiting this region without american troops being in a combat mission in the region. We will always honor the selflessness of the sacrifices of the americans who served including my son who was stationed in iraq for a year. I will never forget the 7054 american troops who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving. Today, i am proud to be able to say that the land wars in the region involving huge numbers of American Forces is now underway. Is not underway. We eliminated the vices just this week, taking out another key leader of isis. We continued our counterterrorism efforts working on the Broad Coalition of countries including everyone around this table. We will turn our attention and our resources to support our partners, strengthen our alliances, and build a coalition to solve the problems facing this region of the world and the world today. The United States is clear eyed about the challenges in the middle east and about where we have the greatest capacity to help drive positive outcomes. Our objective, our focus on targeting resources and rebuilding trust and delivering real results. We will operate in the context of the middle east as it is today. A region a more united than it has been in years, former rivals reestablishing diplomatic and economic ties, new memberships being forged, recently the world sees the middle east through opportunity. The united is going to remain an active partner in the middle east. Asked how the work grows more competitive and the challenges we face more complex, as the world grows more competitive and they challenges we face more complex, there are more important the successes of the middle east. We seek to build on this moment with active principle american leadership. Our new framework for the middle east has five key principles. I would like to share them with you today. The United States world support and strengthen partnerships with countries who subscribe to the rulesbased of international order. We will make sure that those countries can defend themselves against foreign threats. The United States and into the countries around the table are an essential part of that order. We reject use of brute force to change borders. The entire group voted in the General Assembly to condemn russias invasion of ukraine. It was an watershed a watershed moment. It shows territorial integrity, i want to be clear. Supporting the rulebased order does not mean we have to agree on every issue. It does mean that we outline around core principles. About us Work Together on the most pressing global challenges it means we Work Together on the most pressing global challenges. We are committing millions of dollars to alleviate Food Insecurity in the region with more than 1 billion coming from the United States. On energy security, leah grew up we agree to meet global needs. Energy producers have increased production and i look forward to seeing what is in the coming months. We are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in Clean Energy Initiatives and increasing our climate omission permission and the first of my and invest. The United States will not allow foreigner powers to jeopardize the freedom of navigation through the middle east waterways. Including the straights. We will not tolerate inference of any country to dominate another in the region through military buildups and threats. The free flow of commerce under resources in the middle east is the lifeblood of a Global Economy. Of the iraqi Prime Minister to bring countries from the region together for talks in baghdad. The months of quiet persistent, see we finalized an agreement to remove International Peacekeepers from the red sea and transform an area that once sparked wars into a future hope of peaceful tourism and Economic Development. As we continue to work closely with many of you to counter threats posed by iran, we are a sweet diplomacy to return to constraints. We commit to make sure that arana never gets a nuclear weapon. The United States built security connections between the United States, partners, wherever possible. While respecting these integration, interconnection, these are the underlying themes of our meeting today. How many years have we been trying to connect iraqs electricity into the gcc grades. Grids. I remember being briefed on it in 2016 when i was Vice President of the United States. I said lets get it done. Today, finally, after years of failed efforts and false starts, thanks to the efforts of so many around this table, it is done. New projects linking the region like the saudi investments in egypt and jordan. The more we build these connections, the more we will see the benefits return to our people. The United States will always value human rights enshrined in the u. N. Charter. Foundational freedoms are foundational to who we are as americans. It is in our dna. It is also because we know the future will be won by the countries that unleash the full potential of their populations. Equal rights and contributing to building stronger economies, resilient societies and more modern and capable militaries where citizens can question their leaders without fear of reprisal. I have gotten 20 of criticism plenty of criticism over the years. It is not fun. The ability to speak openly and Exchange Ideas freely is what unlocks innovation. Accountable institutions that are free from corruption, that act transparently and respect the rule of law are the best way to deliver growth, respond to peoples needs, and ensure justice. No country gets it right all the time, including the United States. But our people are our strength. Our countries, with the confidence to learn from mistakes, grow stronger. Let me conclude by summing all this up in one sentence. The United States is invested in building a positive future in the region in partnership with all of you. The United States is not going anywhere. This is a table full of problem solvers. There is a lot of good we can do if we do it together. Thank you for inviting me to participate in this summit today. Thank you for the many years of partnership between our countries and the United States. God protect our troops. Thank you. [applause] thank you, mr. President. No we give the floor to his majesty, King Abdullah of jordan. In the name of god, prayers and peace be upon all profits prophets. Your highness, excellency, mr. President , peace and gods mercy and blessing be upon you. It is my pleasure to start by thanking the brother, the custodian. His Royal Highness, the crown prince mohammad bin salman enter the kingdom of saudi arabia for the gracious invitation. The warm welcome and the hosting of this well organized summit. Majesties, harnesses highnesses, excellencies our world faces multiple challenges from covid and the crisis on energy and food and continuous complex that are regions suffer from. Therefore, we must examine opportunities for cooperation and collective action in pursuit of regional integration and Food Security, energy, transport, and water. We in jordan are keen on transforming these opportunities into real partnerships for the region by capitalizing on our historical and deep rooted ties with the gcc countries and our brothers in egypt and iraq. We embark on these efforts out of our belief that the only way forward is through collective action. For we in jordan continue to host over one million Syrian Refugees providing them with various humanitarian, health, and Education Services while also countering security threats on our orders. By thwarting attempts to smuggle drugs and weapons, which now pose a major threat to the entire region. We shoulder these responsibilities on behalf of the International Community, which must carry on its role in countering the impact of the refugee crisis on refugee and postcommunities Host Communities to ensure success of regional partnerships that we seek, Economic Cooperation must include our brothers in the Palestinian National authority. Here we must reaffirm the importance of reaching a just solution to the israelipalestinian conflict on the basis of a two state solution for there can be no stability or prosperity without the solution guaranteeing the establishment of an independent palestinian state with jerusalem as its capital living sidebyside with israel in peace and security. I think my brothers and custodians, his Royal Highness, crown prince mohammad bin salman and the kingdom of saudi arabia for their great efforts to enhance this cooperation and coordination in the service of our region and the world. Thank you, his majesty, King Abdullah of jordan. I give the floor to his excellency. My brother, his Royal Highness crown prince mohammad bin salman, mr. President , excellency, i extend appreciation for countries participating in this summit which comes at an exceptional moment in the history of the world and our region to be of clear political significance of renewing our determination to enhance the partnership between arab states and United States of america whether at the bilateral level or the broader regional framework in a way that enables us to extend this partnership to further horizons of cooperation, which meets the aspirations and interests of our people based on strong and well established relationships and principles from which we should not deviate in order to achieve Mutual Benefit and maintain the security and stability of the entire region. The worsening global and regional crises spending spa nning from the covid19 pandemic, Climate Change, Food Security and the spread of Armed Conflicts globally and regionally have carried on and intensified, casting a shadow on humanity, including our arab region suffering from serious critical, development and security challenges, including the risks of the spread of terrorism. These challenges threaten the stability of our peoples and the rights of future generations, leaving our nation legitimately questioning the effectiveness of the tools we have in the measures we are taking to address these challenges and wondering about the fate of the Protracted Crises our arab region has been witnessing for more than one decade and the prospect of their settlement. Against this backdrop it is necessary for our countries and region to have tangible contributions in formulating permanent humanitarian solutions to contemporary challenges founded on a scientific and realistic approach. This is our goal in egypt based on our belief that we all belong to one identity, which is humanity. It is no longer acceptable to be among the arab nation defined by a glorious history, rich contributions and enormous resources and capabilities, a refugee or displaced person affected by the scourge of wars or lost hope for a better tomorrow. It is time for joint endeavors to bring to a closer all endless conflicts and chronic civil wars that have strained the peoples of the region, squandering their resources and wealth and allowed some powers to interfere in the Domestic Affairs of arab states, conduct illegitimate assault on their lands and temper the fate of future generations. By invoking conflicts of premodern estate errors of sectarian, ethnic, and tribal nature in which exists neither victim nor vanquished. This led to the collapse of the foundation of the mother state and pave the way for the emergence of terrorism and dissemination of its dark and extremists ideology. Egypt has several historical experiences in the region during which it has always been a pioneer in opening up to different peoples and cultures and pursue the path of peace, which was egypts strategic choice that it took and preserved and carried the torch to spread it, leaving the power of logic, not the logical power and that the world to everyone. It is the piece of the powerful established on the principles of justice, balance, acceptance of rights. I am taking this opportunity to share with you our comprehensive five pillar approach that aims to address priorities and serve our mutual goals to build a more prosperous region. First, there is no doubt that moving forward toward the future depends on how we settle Protracted Crises of the past. Therefore, our joint endeavors to solve current crises of the region, whether those that arose during the investigate or those that continue before that will not succeed if we fail to achieve a fair, comprehensive, and final settlement to the palestinian cause. This settlement must be consistent with Relevant International resolutions on the basis of the two state solution to ensure the establishment of the independent palestinian state on the borders of june 4, 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital and preserves the legitimate rights of the Palestinian People in order to live in security and peace alongside the state of israel in a way that guarantees the security of the two peoples and provides a new reality for the people of the region that can
