Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef warned on Sunday that terrorism and extremism pose a direct threat to the entire world. Addressing the 36th round of the Arab Interior Ministers Conference held in Tunis, he said: “We must tirelessly exert efforts to strongly and effectively confront these threats.” These efforts include cutting the financing of terrorist and extremist groups and combating money laundering. The conference was held under the auspices of Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi. Prince Abdulaziz also underscored the need to address illegal immigration, organized crime, border security, drug smuggling, human rights and cyber-crime. Moreover, he warned of the danger of foreign meddling in Arab internal affairs, singling out Iran’s threat to “our countries and societies.” He accused Tehran of seeking to destabilize the region and sow sedition among its people. “I am certain that this conference is aware of this danger and is working diligently to confront it,” he added. The conference was attended by senior security delegations, representatives of the Arab League, Arab Maghreb Union, Gulf Cooperation Council, Arab Red Crescent and Red Cross Organization, International Committee of the Red Cross, Interpol, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and other organizations.
