00:00.000 --> 00:04.240
Saudi Arabia's role in the global economy.

00:04.240 --> 00:08.480
Hi everyone, we're exploring the role of international organizations,

00:08.480 --> 00:13.520
groups that bring countries together to solve global challenges and create a better future.

00:15.680 --> 00:20.160
One of the most prominent organizations is the United Nations, UN,

00:20.160 --> 00:24.400
established in 1945 to promote global peace and cooperation

00:24.400 --> 00:26.640
among its 193 member states.

00:27.440 --> 00:32.240
Presses key challenges such as security, development, and humanitarian aid

00:32.240 --> 00:36.480
through its main bodies, including the General Assembly and Security Council.

00:37.280 --> 00:41.840
A founding member, Saudi Arabia, actively supports UN initiatives,

00:41.840 --> 00:47.040
including refugee aid, peacekeeping, and climate efforts aligned with Vision 2030.

00:47.920 --> 00:51.360
Notable contributions include supporting the World Food Program,

00:51.360 --> 00:54.640
posting ESCWA to boost Arab development,

00:54.640 --> 00:58.080
and aiding the restoration of Kuwaiti sovereignty during the Gulf War.

00:59.520 --> 01:02.240
Regional organizations also play a crucial role.

01:03.040 --> 01:08.560
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OIC, founded in 1969,

01:08.560 --> 01:13.440
unites 57 Muslim-majority nations to protect Islamic values,

01:13.440 --> 01:17.680
promote solidarity, and address challenges like the Palestinian cause.

01:18.080 --> 01:23.520
Saudi Arabia, as a founding member and host of the OIC headquarters,

01:23.520 --> 01:28.000
leads key initiatives in education, healthcare, and conflict resolution.

01:29.600 --> 01:35.040
Similarly, the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, established in 1981,

01:35.040 --> 01:39.600
connects six Gulf nations to strengthen trade, security, and collaboration.

01:39.920 --> 01:48.400
Such as the WTO, WHO, IMF, and Arab League, further highlight global collaboration.

01:49.200 --> 01:52.000
They address issues ranging from trade and health,

01:52.000 --> 01:56.640
to finance and regional unity, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the world,

01:56.640 --> 01:58.400
and the importance of cooperation.

01:59.280 --> 02:04.960
Saudi Arabia's active participation in these organizations reflects its dedication to stability,

02:04.960 --> 02:09.760
Islamic values, and regional growth, demonstrating how international relations

02:09.760 --> 02:12.720
shape a better, more inclusive future.
