AT THE OUTSET OF THE SESSION, THE MONARCH BRIEFED THE CABINET ON THE CONTACTS HE HELD WITH A NUMBER OF LEADERS ON BILATERAL RELATIONS AND REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ISSUES. THESE ALL EMPHASIZE THE PIVOTAL ROLE THE KINDOM PLAYS IN THE REGION'S SECURITY, STABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT AND IN THE SERVICE OF NATIONAL AND ISLAMIC CAUSES. IN A STATEMENT TO THE SAUDI PRESS AGENCY (SPA) FOLLOWING THE SESSION, THE MINISTER OF CULTURE AND INFORMATION IYAD BIN AMIN MADANI SAID THE MONARCH NOTED THAT HIS TOUR OF NAJRAN, ASSIR AND JAZAN COMES AS A COMPLETION OF INSPECTING ALL REGIONS, MEETING DIRECTLY WITH OFFICIALS AND CITIZENS AND ATTENDING TO THE GREAT PROJECTS BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE STATE IN EVERY REGION. THE KING AFFIRMED THAT ALL GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIALS AND BODIES SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THE KINGDOM'S REGIONS SINCE THE HOMELAND IS WHOLE AND INDIVISIBLE, AND CITIZENS ARE ALL EQUAL IN RIGHTS AND DUTIES. THE KING ADDED THAT GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND REFORM ARE PRACTICE, ACTION AND ACCOMPLISHMENT, INDICATING THAT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NEGLIGENCE IN CARRYING OUT RESPONSIBILITY IN A COUNTRY THAT ALMIGHTY ALLAH HAS ENDOWED WITH A RELIGION THAT CALLS FOR ACTION, FAITHFULNESS AND PERFORMANCE OF DUTY; AND WITH PLENTIFUL POTENTIALS AND RESOURCES; A COUNTRY AGAIN BLESSED BY THE LOVE AND LOYALITY OF ITS CITIZENS. --MORE
