Under the patronage of HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani, the ministerial meeting of the committee delegated to adopt the rules and regulations of the Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud Award for Arab Security will be held at The St Regis Doha today.
The meeting will be held in the presence of the Interior Ministers of Qatar, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria along with delegates from the General Secretariat of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers.
A preparatory meeting of the committee was held yesterday. It was inaugurated by the secretary-general of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, Dr Mohamed bin Ali Kouman.
He said the prize was proposed by the State of Qatar and presented by HE Sheikh Abdullah at the 30th session of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, which was held in Riyadh in recognition of the services of Prince Nayef towards Arab security for three decades.
Further, he said the current meeting of the committee follows a directive from the Council of Ministers, which was held in Marrakesh in order to adopt the rules and regulations for the award.
The award is mainly concerned with innovation and services that enhance the sense of security among the Arab people and make security a shared social responsibility, which is not limited to the security departments.
