UN commends Kingdom`s generosity 2 RIYADH

“Recent years have seen the rise of Saudi Arabia as an important and
growing force in global development and humanitarian initiatives,”
Musa said.

“The UN office in Riyadh commends the nation for its solidarity with
fellow countries, and stands ready to continue this agenda through
our cooperation programs and initiatives in the Kingdom and abroad.”

Referring to the humanitarian gesture of the Saudi government, the
report said Riyadh not only led humanitarian donors as a percentage
of GDP when compared to the US, but also in comparison to the more
generous European countries, such as Sweden (0.14 percent) and Norway
(0.13 percent).
