RIYADH: The Saudi Ministry of Labor and Social Development said it is monitoring civil associations and organizations according to the powers vested in it by the Civil Associations and Organizations Law, in partnership with the technical supervisors and competent authorities.
The ministry urged the community to pass on any comments or complaints against civil organizations so that the necessary measures are taken.
The ministry said that it works with certified accountants to audit the financial statements of civil associations and organizations. Each association is visited at the end of every quarter for auditing and preparing a report on its financial status. At the end of the year, the financial statements are audited, approved and published in the national platform for civil associations’ data.
The ministry praised the vital role of civil associations in various fields and their effective contribution to the achievement of Vision 2030. The ministry also commended the cooperation between the private, government, and nonprofit sectors to implement a number of initiatives that benefit the society.

King Abdulaziz Foundation reveals rare images from king’s 1916 Basra visit
- Photographs form part of a wider collection documented by British photographer Gertrude Bell
RIYADH: The King Abdulaziz Foundation has revealed archival photographs documenting King Abdulaziz’s tour of the outskirts of Basra in 1916, a visit that came at an early stage of his efforts to build regional relationships.
One of the photographs, taken by British photographer Gertrude Bell, shows King Abdulaziz standing with his men in the Basra desert, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The image reflects his early political and diplomatic engagement in the region, as he sought to strengthen ties with neighboring areas and engage with the wider Arab and international community, SPA added.
The photograph forms part of a wider collection documented by Bell, which records key developments and transformations across the Arabian Peninsula during the early 20th century.
The Basra visit holds particular significance in King Abdulaziz’s journey as a unifying leader.
Rather than crossing borders in pursuit of power, the visit reflected an approach focused on stability, cooperation and long-term regional harmony, laying the groundwork for a leadership style defined by pragmatism and openness, SPA said.
