He said, "Based on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's conviction that the best way to confront this great evil is through collective and organized work, it has been keen to comply with the requirements of UN Security Council Resolutions 1267, 1989, 2161, 2170 and 2178 in addition to taking internal measures adopted for the purpose of countering terrorism and extremism." In this regard, he noted that the kingdom introduced regulations to prevent the financing of terrorism and stemming the flow of foreign fighters into areas of conflict in order to join the terrorist group.
