On behalf of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz, Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, opened this evening the 1st National Conference For Intellectual Security, "Concepts and Challenges", organized by Prince Naif Chair for Intellectual Security Studies at King Saud University's Hamad Al-Jasser Hall.
Thirty Saudi and foreign bodies are participating in the four-day conference.
Upon arrival the ceremony's venue, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz was received by Prince Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, Governor of Al-Direyah Province and a number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
On the occasion, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz delivered a speech in which he said that this is a noble occasion, enjoying the patronage and directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Prince Naif added that it is important that this issue of intellectual security enjoys the Kingdom's noble patronage and interest due to the strong relationship between the sound thought and the righteous way on one hand and the stability of the nation, its development and happiness of its children on the other hand.
He pointed out that in our contemporary world, the intellectual security becomes one of the key pillars of the nation which is no longer threatened by a mere expected or theoretical risks but real ones required to be countered through accurate knowledge and scientific plans and strategies in dealing with them and limiting their current effects and future impacts.
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was in the forefront of countries affected by the penetration of the intellectual security's fence by some of her sons who have fallen under the influence of deviant thought contrary to the teachings of our righteous Islamic religion", Prince Naif explained.
He also said that the Kingdom was in the forefront of countries that warned of the dangers of extremism, so the Kingdom's confrontation with those adopting such these wayward thoughts is not confined only to what has been achieved and is being achieved of success in using the deterrent force to deal with these criminal acts, but it utilized the wise use of the force of deterrence by subjecting those of deviant thoughts to the study, evaluation and guidance, making the Saudi security experience in confronting this deviant thought and its people as a pioneer experience we try to develop in light of the requirements of the security work and dealing with the changes surrounding it in their national, regional and international dimensions.
Moreover, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz said that using the scientific approach is necessary in confronting the danger and challenges facing the Nation's intellectual security in order to monitor the real status of such security, define its basic components and limit the factors affecting it so that we can fortify it against any penetration, therefore the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud agreed to assign King Saud University to organize the 1st National Conference for Intellectual Security "Concepts and Challenges".
Finally, I thank the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for his generous patronage of this important conference in its aims, objectives and direction, hoping it will contribute to forging a national strategy for the intellectual security in light of the comprehensive concept for security in Islam, Prince Naif stated.
Then, Prince Naif and the audience watched a documentary on Prince Naif Chair for Intellectual Security Studies.
