Jeddah, (IINA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) mourned the death of Prince Saud Al-Faisal, former Saudi minister of foreign affairs who dedicated a life time serving his country and Arab and Islamic causes.
Expressing his deep sadness at the passing away of Prince Saud, OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani said that for four decades, Prince Saud was the flagship of Saudi diplomacy and always in the frontlines defending and promoting Arab and Muslim interests. His wisdom, clear vision thorough understanding and full grasp of the issues will be sorely missed, he added.
The secretary general added that the world will forever remember Prince Saud Al-Faisal as a towering figure of modern diplomacy; and as a leader who fought for the belief and principles of his country, for Arab and Muslim convictions and for peace, stability, understanding and tolerance in the world.
Madani offered his heartfelt condolences to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, the royal family, Prince Saud's family and to the people of Saudi Arabia at their loss.
