Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah expressed on Saturday his gratitude and appreciation to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz for Saudi Arabia’s efforts in resolving the Gulf dispute.

In a message to King Salman, he hailed the role played by Saudi Arabia, under his wise leadership, in helping reach a historic achievement that is finding a final solution to the dispute between the Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt with Qatar.

Saudi Arabia’s acting on behalf of the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt reflects the Kingdom’s prestigious standing and pioneering role in supporting the security and stability of the region, he continued.

It also reflects its keenness on unity amid the pressing challenges in the world and region, he added.

Resolving the rift “will be an achievement that restores Gulf and Arab unity against challenges raging in the entire world,” said Sheikh Nawaf.

He also cited the efforts exerted by his brother, late Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, in resolving the dispute.

The fourth Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF) 2024 began in Riyadh on Wednesday. It is organized by Saudi Arabia’s National Cybersecurity Authority, in partnership with the Saudi Information Technology Company (SITE).
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman welcomed participants on behalf of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The two-day event, themed “Advancing Collective Action in Cyberspace,” has drawn leaders, policymakers, and experts from over 120 countries.
In a message read at the opening ceremony in Riyadh, the Crown Prince stated: “Cyberspace is closely linked to the growth of economies, the prosperity of societies, the security of individuals, and the stability of nations.”
According to SPA, he noted that due to the cross-border nature of cyberspace, it is essential to harmonize international efforts to seize the opportunities and “face the challenges it presents, by investing in people.”
Welcoming the participants, the Crown Prince said: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always been a force for good for the benefit of humanity and human prosperity around the world.”
“It has continuously worked to uphold the principle of cooperation and strengthen international collaboration toward efforts that support development and prosperity for all nations. It has initiated several initiatives aimed at achieving these genuine goals in all sectors,” he noted.
“Believing in the importance of investing in people in this vital and promising domain, in 2020 we launched two global initiatives. The first relates to protecting children in cyberspace, and the second focuses on empowering women in the field of cybersecurity,” he added.
“The institute for the Global Cybersecurity Forum is entrusted with overseeing both initiatives, as well as implementing the associated projects,” affirmed the Crown Prince.
He highlighted the progress made by these initiatives, particularly the increased understanding of needs at the global level that has led to new and inspiring visions, enabling the GCF to develop impactful initiatives and programs, publish research and studies, and formulate new frameworks and strategies.
These efforts empower decision-makers worldwide to develop policies and programs that enhance child protection in cyberspace and promote women’s participation in the field of cybersecurity.
The first day of GCF 2024 featured discussions on five main topics: closing cybersecurity gaps, online behavior, the social structure of cyberspace, a thriving cyber economy, and new cyber opportunities.
Key officials, decision-makers, and experts from governments, academia, and global companies took part in the sessions.
The forum is a global platform that brings together leaders from governments, cybersecurity, academia, and NGOs. Its goal is to strengthen international cybersecurity, support economic and social development, and align global efforts in the field.
