On the external front, your state has led in warning against terrorism through our call for the establishment of the International Centre for Fighting Terrorism and the call to confront terrorism at the international level. The kingdom provided this center with a donation in the amount of one hundred million dollars to urgently activate the role of this center. Then, we strengthened it by inviting the regional and international community to cooperate to combat this scourge. Brothers and sisters: Justice is the basis on which this state has been built and will remain to be built. Achievement of justice has been assigned to the judicial institution which is based on God's Sharia. Our project for the development of the judiciary and our care to eliminate the difficulties faced by the judicial institutions aim at taking this very important facility to what we all aspire for in achieving justice. In your esteemed council, you have discussed the regulation of Sharia proceedings, the regulation of criminal procedures and the regulation of proceedings before the Board of Grievances which have been issued. Our order has been issued to form a Sharia committee of a number of distinguished scholars to prepare a draft code of judicial rules in legal matters needed by the judges to be classified in the form of articles on the themes of Islamic jurisprudence. With God's help, we intend to continue this development in an effort to take the judiciary in our country to the level required by the tolerant Sharia and aspired by citizens. We will not hesitate to support the march and independence of the judiciary. My brothers and sisters: Over the past year, we were able to complete a lot of projects related to the Two Holy Mosques. The work of expansion of the Grand Mosque is near finish in general. A great portion has been accomplished with regard to the expansion of Mataf as well as the project of Jamarat. With the grace of God, heralds of these achievements appeared in the last Hajj season where pilgrims performed their rituals in ease and comfort that have been attested by all. --More 18:24 LOCAL TIME 15:24 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
