More than 160 speakers from Saudi Arabia and abroad are taking part in the Security and History Dialogue 2026 conference, which opened in Riyadh under the patronage and presence of Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz.

The Interior Ministry is organizing the conference from Sept. 6 to 8 at the Palace of Culture in the Diplomatic Quarter under the theme “Our History and Our Future: Security and Development.”

The event draws on more than 300 years of security history in the Saudi state. It examines Saudi Arabia’s experience and transformations from several angles, focusing on the close relationship between security and sustainable development, as well as their role in building the state, reinforcing national identity, and supporting growth and prosperity.

At the opening, conference supervisor general Ahmed Mohammed Al-Tuwaian said security and history represented two fundamental pillars in Saudi Arabia’s journey. He said the conference carried three main messages: security, identity, and development. He also emphasized that “security is a constant approach, not the product of circumstance.”
