Prince Mohammed bin Fahd, chairman of the Higher Committee for Seminars and Activities on the History of the late King Fahd, praised King Abdul Aziz Foundation for their astounding work to document the history of the Saudi kings.
The prince made this observation in a statement to the media, after preparations for a seminar focusing on the history of King Fahd, were through. The seminar will relate the late king’s achievements in different spheres through the implementation of different projects to bring light on his deeds for the country.
The prince lauded a series of seminars on the Saudi kings organized by the foundation, since this research plays a significant role in documenting the Kingdom’s modern history, in line with the techniques of the latest research methodology.
“I am pleased to present my sincere thanks and appreciation to King Abdullah for issuing the orders to conduct the seminars. I would also like to thank Crown Prince Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, who always stands in support of the foundation’s projects,’’ the prince said, adding that documenting the country’s history is a vital and noble task.
Prince Mohammed also pointed the significance of seminars focusing on former kings of Saudi Arabia, like King Saud, King Faisal, King Khaled and King Fahd, because they steered the country through hard times, unprecedented in the history of the Arab and Muslim world.
“The documentation of their history is the documentation of unprecedented political leadership in the context of exceptional regional and international challenges. It is the matter for researchers today as well as for the near and distant future centuries to come,’’ he added.
According to Prince Mohammed, all of the Saudi kings had multiple achievements in every position they held, serving the country now as guidance beacons.
Closing his speech, the prince gave an emotional final discourse on the former kings’ accomplishments, claiming they are a matter of pride not only for his descendants, but to all citizens.
“The great growth and development projects that we witness in the country now are not fruits of their efforts alone but the efforts of all citizens,’’ he said.
The prince also prayed for King Abdullah’s success in completing the country’s development, hoping that his steps be in the right direction for the welfare of the country and the citizens.

Saudi deputy foreign minister calls for Sudanese unity during meeting in Cairo
- Waleed Al-Khuraiji says a political solution to the civil war in Sudan must be based on respect for its sovereignty
- He rejects quasi-government formed by one of the warring factions in July, denounces external intervention in form of weapons supplies and foreign fighters
LONDON: Saudi Arabia’s deputy foreign minister, Waleed Al-Khuraiji, on Wednesday stressed the important need to maintain the territorial integrity of Sudan.
Speaking at the fifth Sudan peace coordination meeting in Cairo, he said a political solution to the civil war that began in April 2023 must be based on respect for Sudanese sovereignty and unity.
He highlighted the efforts the Kingdom is making in an attempt to ensure stability in Sudan, help reach a ceasefire agreement that ends the conflict, prevent the collapse of state institutions, and maintain the unity, territorial integrity and capabilities of the country, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Al-Khuraiji also said that Saudi efforts to address the worsening humanitarian crisis caused by the war are continuing, in an attempt to alleviate the suffering of the Sudanese people.
It is important that the conflicting factions return to political dialogue, he added, as stated in the Jeddah Declaration of May 2023 and the short-term ceasefire deal that was agreed that same month.
The war in Sudan, between rival military factions the Sudan Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, poses a threat to regional stability, Al-Khuraiji warned.
He rejected the quasi-government formed by the Rapid Support Forces in July last year as an obstruction to ongoing efforts to resolve the crisis, a threat to the unity and sovereignty of Sudan, and a risk to regional security and the safety of the Red Sea.
“The announcement of parallel entities outside the framework of legitimate institutions is worrying and disrupts efforts through the political track to solve the crisis,” he said.
The prevention of external intervention in the conflict, including illegal support in the form of weapon supplies and foreign fighters, is crucial for efforts to achieve a ceasefire and facilitate humanitarian operations, Al-Khuraiji added.
He also called for the establishment of safe corridors so that deliveries of aid can reach those in need, similar to a mechanism established in August last year at the Adre crossing on Sudan’s border with Chad.
