Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz, the Interior Minister, has highlighted the existing distinguished Saudi-Sudanese relations. Prince Naif, who arrived in Khartoum last night, said Sudan has a special place in the heart of the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques King Fahd bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, the Deputy Premier and Commander of the National Guard, and Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, the Second Deputy Premier, Defense and Aviation Minister and Inspector General. 'The Sudanese who reside in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have earned a good reputation', Prince Naif added. He noted that he will review with his Sudanese Counterpart Major-General Eng. Abdel-Rahim Mohammed Hussein issues of mutual interest. On the phenomenon of terrorism, Prince Naif said intensive efforts should be exerted at the Arab and Islamic arenas for uprooting this dangerous phenomenon. He pointed out that the Arab Interior Ministers in cooperation with the Arab Justice Ministers formulated an agreement for combating terrorism in 1998. Prince Naif urged the Arab media to play its assumed role in fighting terrorism, and said 'without the required role of the media in this respect, the ordinary people will never get acquainted with the dimensions of the agreement of combating terrorism'. Underlining the importance of coordination for fighting terrorism, Prince Naif said the security organs can never work alone in this respect. --more 1123 Local Time 0823 GMT
