Saudi Cabinet Reiterates Kingdom's Commitment to Establishing Regional and International Security and Stability

The Saudi Cabinet reaffirmed on Tuesday the Kingdom’s commitment to establishing security and stability at both the regional and international levels, and emphasized the pivotal role of the (Mecca Agreement) countries in consolidating the region’s security and stability.

This came during a Cabinet session chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who reviewed the substance of talks held between the (Mecca Agreement for Joint Defense) countries and senior Iranian officials.

He expressed condemnation of those criminal attacks, describing them as a serious aggression against the sovereignty of the Kingdom and the sanctity of Islamic holy sites, and as a blatant violation of the sentiments of Muslims worldwide. He affirmed the Kingdom’s legitimate right to resolutely defend the security of the Two Holy Mosques, their visitors, its citizens, and residents on its soil.

The Cabinet noted that the localization rate of military spending in the Kingdom reached 27.3 percent by the end of 2025, surpassing the annual target of 24 percent, with an increase in local content to reach 40.9 percent.

It stressed that this reflects the adequacy of national capabilities, supports integrated cooperation between the public and private sectors, and demonstrates continuous progress toward localizing more than 50 percent of total military spending by 2030.

The Cabinet reviewed several performance indicators of the government work system and the progress achieved in the fields of administration, governance, and institutional excellence, commending the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development for winning a global award from the International Project Management Institute, outperforming 53 entities from 28 countries, thereby contributing to enhancing the effectiveness of implementing initiatives, achieving targets, and aligning them with national priorities.
