Riyadh, July 03, 2023, SPA -- Further to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' statement issued on June 29 expressing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's condemnation and denunciation of the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran by an extremist in front of the Stockholm Central Mosque in Sweden following Eid Al-Adha prayer, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summons the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden and informs her of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's categorical rejection of the disgraceful act carried out by an extremist who burned a copy of the Holy Quran. The Ministry calls upon the Swedish government to stop all acts that directly contradict international efforts to spread the values of tolerance, moderation and rejection of extremism and undermine the mutual respect necessary for relations between peoples and countries.
