Riyadh, Sep 16 (IANS): Saudi Arabia wants that the war on the so-called Islamic State (IS) and other terrorist organisations should continue for 10 years, Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal has said.
Addressing world leaders during the International Conference on Peace and Security in Iraq, Prince Saud Monday cautioned that the threat posed by IS has transcended the boundaries of Iraq and Syria, Arab News reported.
"We see that the planned structure to fight IS should continue for at least 10 years to eradicate this hateful phenomenon."
“It has become a danger, threatening everybody, and as such, should be jointly confronted.”
He emphasised on the need to attack IS strongholds in Syria, where the terrorist group received military training. “We should also extend every means of support to the Syrian opposition to confront IS militants.”
