#بيان | امتدادًا لدور المملكة العربية السعودية في إرساء الحوار والسلام الإقليمي والدولي، تؤكد وزارة الخارجية أن الزيارة التي يقوم بها صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير خالد بن سلمان بن عبدالعزيز آل سعود، وزير الدفاع، وممثلو دول اتفاقية مكة للدفاع المشترك، إلى العاصمة الإيرانية طهران للقاء كبار المسؤولين الإيرانيين، تأتي في إطار استمرار جهود دول اتفاقية مكة للدفاع المشترك لخفض التصعيد بين أطراف الأزمة الحالية وتشجيع الحوار والحلول الدبلوماسية، ودعم جهود الوساطة التي تقوم بها دولة قطر وجمهورية باكستان الإسلامية.

Today’s footpath find: AS-san’s credit card/transit pass in Toyosu. Promptly conveyed to the police box within 7 minutes. If AS-san files a lost item report, the circle will instantly be completed. Wonder if AS-san will be impressed it was handled by a foreigner 😆? 🇯🇵

Starbucks is condoning such gaikoku-inspired behavior at their new TOFROM YAESU store. People yakking to their pals with gay abandon. What a racket! Japan is falling apart. Will feet on the table be next? 🇯🇵 😏

It’s true! There are indeed two goats operating outside Yotsuya Station in central Tokyo. Crowds of townsfolk are gathering on the bridges. We’ve never seen such ruralness in our city! 🇯🇵 🐐
The New Zealand General Election campaign is so boring this time, but Israel goes to the polls on Tuesday. What’s fascinating me about Israel is the domestic issues, stuff voters care most about. I’ve learned so much about the internals of Israel in the last few weeks. 🇮🇱 🗳️
