FOREIGN MINISTER AL-JUBEIR: I believe that – I – I believe that no two countries are working as closely in fighting terrorism, and in particular ISIS, as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States. This has been the case for a number of years. We are intensifying our efforts. The conference that the Secretary hosted in Washington yesterday was a huge success and reinforced the determination of the civilized world to take on this evil and to defeat it, God willing.
