Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz's patronage of the distribution of the prizes of the King Abdullah International Prize for Translation stands conclusive evidence of his unlimited support to human sciences and translation in particular, said Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, the Minister of Interior. “The King's tribute manifests the personal care the King gives for science, knowledge and scholars,” said Prince Naif. He hoped that the concerned authorities would realize the King's aspirations in the best use of science and translation in particular in the service of the citizens, residents, Muslims and mankind elsewhere. Prince Naif also stressed the importance of the transfer of nations' experiences through translation pointing that translation is instrumentally important for transferring world's cultures.
