Security has not been a temporary response to circumstances in Saudi Arabia, but a governing approach carried through three centuries, according to Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Tuwaiyan.

Speaking at the Security and History Dialogue 2026 conference in Riyadh on Sunday, Al-Tuwaiyan said the event highlights the close relationship between security, history and development. He described development as a national foundation built on security and stability.

“Security in Saudi Arabia is not circumstantial; it is a long-standing approach,” Al-Tuwaiyan said. He added that Saudi imams and kings had carried this approach across generations, through the reign of King Salman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.

Al-Tuwaiyan also expressed appreciation to Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif for his patronage, guidance and support for the conference.
