Moderator thanks Saudi Arabia, Uganda for full regular-budget payments

The moderator publicly thanked Saudi Arabia and Uganda for making full payments to the regular budget, saying, "We thank our friends in Riyadh and Kampala for their full payments to the regular budget." The moderator named the amounts: Saudi Arabia paid $38,939,004 and Uganda paid $317,897.

The announcement came amid a light geography quiz in which the moderator identified landmarks and local foods. The moderator said, "It's Abraj Al Bayt Towers in Mecca," and later confirmed the second country discussed as "Uganda," noting a popular street food there called a "rolex"—an egg omelet and vegetables rolled inside a soft chapati flatbread.

The transcript includes no formal vote or further procedural action regarding the payments. No additional details about the budget line items or next administrative steps were recorded in the provided excerpt.
