Saudi Arabia, Syria Sign MoU on Combating Cross-Border Corruption Crimes

Saudi Arabia and Syria have formalized their commitment to fighting cross-border corruption by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

In parallel efforts to enhance regional security, Saudi Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz held separate meetings in Makkah with his Jordanian counterpart, Mazen Al-Faraya, and Malaysia's Minister of Home Affairs, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution bin Ismail. Discussions focused on security cooperation and coordination between the nations, as well as reviewing matters of mutual interest.

Both the Jordanian and Malaysian ministers commended Saudi Arabia's capabilities and integrated services for Hajj pilgrims. They specifically praised the high level of organization and coordination within the Hajj system, which facilitated a smooth and tranquil experience for pilgrims performing their rituals.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud also conducted a review of the medical facilities and services provided by the Ministry of Interior's medical services at the holy sites during the Hajj season. He inspected various clinics, critical-care units, and support services, and viewed a presentation detailing the medical efforts, network, and operational capabilities, including real-time monitoring and rapid decision-making support systems. The tour included a visit to the Field Hospital in Arafat, where he reviewed emergency, intensive-care, and specialized treatment services, including those for heat-related illnesses. Efforts to enhance field healthcare through modern technologies, such as smart bracelets and drones for medical supply delivery, were also highlighted.
