Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior, will attend the Arab Interior Ministers Council this week which will discuss a number of issues related to security in the region. In a statement before leaving for Tunisia, Prince Naif commented on the perception that meetings of the Arab interior ministers aim to bolster the security of political regimes in the region. “This has been said before unfortunately. But it is untrue. We are holding the 27th meeting and I challenge anyone to come up with one decision concerning the security of the leadership or the security of the political regimes. All decisions taken by the interior ministers concern the security of Arab citizens in all fields and for the development and cooperation of security agencies.” In reply to a question on the alleged intention of the Saudi authorities to check the travel plans of some young people, as a precautionary measure, to neighboring countries, Prince Naif said: “We don't prevent anyone except the suspected in this matter. Parents and families should care for their young and should not let them go alone. They should accompany them. This is the best,” he said.
