Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz highlights the anniversary of the

The Kingdom was targeted in everything. But thanks to Allah Almighty,
it was able, through its prudent leadership, to achieve security and
complete stability. It is clear to everybody that, without security,
the Kingdom would have not seen the current level of economic and
developmental activity. Let me cite the well-known saying that
"Capital is usually Coward" and could not be lured except in a secure
atmosphere.

Now the Kingdom has become attractive to investments from all over
the world. We could see unprecedented movement in the field of stocks
and others and we could notice the flow of all foreign currencies
inside the Kingdom.
We could say that, according to logic and reality, the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia is enjoying the best situation in the economic aspect
and that all its developmental projects are proceeding in better and
comprehensive ways in all parts of the country.
Figures show that the state is pouring money in a generous way on
development and services.
Let us appeal to Allah Almighty to continue helping the Custodian of
the Two Holy Mosques in leading the country for more successes and
more achievements.

Q. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was able to enhance the role
of the Kingdom at the regional and international arenas in different
fields. We could cite numerous positions and initiatives over the
past years tackling the issues of his nation. Please comment.

A. Yes, it is true. This matter could easily be seen on the ground.
At both the Arab and Islamic levels, the Kingdom’s position was
prominent and the role of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was
characterized by much objectivity for the interest of the Arab nation
and the Palestinian issues and for the Islamic nation and the general
interest of all countries of the world as well. The position of the
Kingdom at all forums and conferences which were held in the Arab or
Islamic or international arenas was clear and outstanding. For
instance, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has presented a
proposal that was adopted as an Arab peace initiative and which was
described as meeting the aspirations of Palestine and the world
community and he has called for reconciliation and forgetting past
Arab differences and for opening new page to forge a strong Arab
negotiating position. This is what is going on now.
