الأمم المتحدة توافق بالإجماع على مشاركة ولي العهد بالاتصال المرئي

The United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted an oral draft resolution presented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, approving the participation of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman via remote connection or a pre-recorded message at the high-level conference on the resolution of the Palestinian issue and the two-state solution scheduled for September 22.

Saudi Arabia had submitted a draft resolution allowing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to deliver his annual speech before the United Nations and at the two-state solution conference via remote connection or a pre-recorded message.

This decision, which was adopted by the General Assembly, is valid for only one year during the 80th session of the General Assembly, and it should not set a precedent to be followed in the future.

It is worth noting that the United Nations General Assembly requires the physical presence of leaders during their speeches; however, in 2020, it made an exception to this rule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
