Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz met in London, with UK Minister of State for Security at the Home Office Dan Jarvis.
The meeting reviewed ways to strengthen ongoing security cooperation and addressed topics of mutual interest, including the exchange of expertise between the two ministries - particularly in the areas of sports event security and the management of large-scale public gatherings.
The discussions followed Prince Abdulaziz’s visit to Wembley Stadium, where he was briefed on the stadium’s security capabilities and arrangements for hosting major events, including surveillance systems, crowd management protocols, and emergency response mechanisms, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Earlier, Prince Abdulaziz visited Wellington Barracks in London, where he was received by Dan Jarvis. During the visit, Prince Abdulaziz attended a field performance by the British Army’s military band, which included a rendition of the Saudi national anthem.
The Saudi Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz also met in London with a group of Ministry of Interior employees studying in the UK.
During the meeting, the minister affirmed the wise leadership's commitment to supporting students studying abroad and providing them with all the necessary resources to create a distinguished educational environment. He noted that investing in human capital is one of the most essential pillars of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Minister expressed his pride in the academic and professional successes achieved by students studying abroad, emphasizing that they must represent the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia well and invest their time spent abroad in continuing to excel and acquire knowledge. They will then return to the Kingdom equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute to building their country and participating in its ambitious development journey.
