The Saudi government praised on Tuesday the outcomes of the second meeting of the Council of Defense Ministers of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) that was hosted by Riyadh.

It said the Kingdom’s support of SAR 100 million for the IMCTC Fund for Financing Initiatives is a testament to its approach and commitment to spreading values of moderation and rejecting violence and extremism.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.

The ministers were briefed on the talks he held with Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al Sabah, who visited the Kingdom last week. They were also briefed on the official talks Sheikh Mishal held with Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait underscored the strength of the fraternal relations that bind them and stressed their shared goal to deepen cooperation in all fields and maintain coordination and consultations on issues of mutual interest.

Media Minister Salman Al-Dosari said the cabinet reviewed the talks and meetings held between Saudi Arabia and several countries over the past week.

The cabinet hailed the announcement that the Kingdom will host the sixteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 16) to the United Nation Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in December.

It said this was an important step in bolstering cooperation to find effective solutions to reduce land degradation and the effects of drought around the world.

Under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Crown Prince, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Human Capability Development Program Committee—a key initiative in achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030—the second edition of the Human Capability Initiative Conference will open in Riyadh on Sunday.

The two-day conference, themed "Beyond Readiness," underscores the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to investing in human capital as a cornerstone of national development and future progress, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.

Organized by the Human Capability Development Program, this premier global platform will bring together more than 300 distinguished speakers, including influential leaders, policymakers, and global experts from academia, the private sector, and non-profit organizations, for over 100 panel discussions.

The second edition will emphasize the vital role of unlocking potential to advance human capabilities through the strategic application of cutting-edge technologies. The goal is to cultivate an educational ecosystem that promotes lifelong learning and empowers individuals and communities to adapt effectively to rapid transformation.

Furthermore, the conference will highlight the importance of embedding values that underpin growth and development, contributing to the formation of interconnected societies capable of addressing both local and global challenges. A key focus will be on forging partnerships and creating opportunities that amplify the role of individuals in devising sustainable solutions for a brighter future.

Building on the success of its first edition, the conference further solidifies the Kingdom's efforts in human capability development and makes a significant contribution to the global discourse on the future of human potential in an era of rapid change.
