Under the chairmanship of former Minister of Social Affairs Abdulmohsen bin Abdulaziz Al-Akkass, the Gulf and World Forum held here today its second session under the theme of "Regional Security Dynamics." Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, Chief of General Intelligence, participated in the session by delivering a speech in which he pointed out that the developments witnessed by the gulf region destabilized the regional balance of power, a matter that explained the readiness of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states to confront the possibility of turning the region into a nuclear zone as a result of the role Iran is seeking to play in the future through possessing a nuclear program with ambiguous ambitions and objectives. The recent security developments in the gulf region, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan have asserted the importance of recognizing that radical changes swept the world during the last two decades, resulting in the fall of old rules and the emergence of new cases, Prince Muqrin stated. "The Arab system is no more as it used to be before two decades, since the Arab Spring has swept a number of Arab countries bringing a phenomenon that draw attention. This is a matter that indicates the important role of reforms. Arab governments and peoples should shoulder the responsibility together in order to prevent reform claims from transforming into chaos that may affect the peoples and the governments, particularly that these changes did not take their final form," Prince Muqrin said. --More
