The Saudi Ministry of Interior (MOI) has achieved remarkable results in its strategic indicators under Saudi Vision 2030’s Quality of Life Program.

The “Level of Trust in Security Services” indicator recorded an impressive 99.77% in 2023, surpassing the 2030 target by 111%. Additionally, the “Premeditated Murder Rate per 100,000 Population” indicator achieved an actual rate of 0.59, exceeding the 2030 target by 119%.

The MOI and its sectors have made significant advancements in their security and humanitarian systems across all levels. (SPA)

According to a statement by the MOI on Monday, these achievements are credited to the consistent support of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The MOI and its sectors have made significant advancements in their security and humanitarian systems across all levels, delivering high-quality services to citizens, residents, and visitors alike. These efforts strengthen societal security and benefit all individuals residing in the Kingdom, contributing to a comprehensive national security renaissance, said the statement.

This progress has been driven by initiatives such as “Pioneering Police Centers,” the “Unified Security Operations Center (911),” the “Unified Crime Classification System,” “Security Equipment,” and the enhancement of the “Aman Platform,” all of which underscore the Kingdom’s enduring commitment to safety and security.

These achievements are credited to the consistent support of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. (SPA)

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
