Dear brothers and sisters: The achievement of development and prosperity is accompanied by the promotion of the collection of cultural and moral values upon which our country is based and which are urged by our religion calling for tolerance, love and compassion, the consolidation of the Islamic and Arab identity of the kingdom, continuation of support for its position at the international level, promotion of national unity, achievement of comprehensive national security and insurance of human rights, justice, equality and stability, with the application of the principles of transparency and accountability, further institutional reform and the protection of integrity and anti-corruption. To achieve this, we have sought to establish national dialogue domestically as King Abdulaziz Center for Dialogue continued its planned activity in the promotion of dialogue among all spectra of the society and launched the program of dialogues with the participation of a group of scholars, preachers, thinkers and intellectuals to have a dialogue on the issue of extremism. Your state has always emphasized the importance of promoting human rights and issued more related regulations the latest of which is the regulation of protection from abuse and child protection regulation. The National Commission for Human Rights continues following all that is related to human rights. Societies only progress by unity and participation in aspects of life. On this basis, your state has worked to encourage wider participation by women within the controls of Sharia. No doubt, the presence of thirty members of women in your esteemed council is the best proof of this conscious and active participation that reflects positively on social and economic life in our beloved country. A number of regulations have been issued in this direction including municipal councils regulation. All this aims at taking your country to the ranks of the most advanced and prosperous countries with the preservation of Islamic values and genuine heritage. --More 17:01 LOCAL TIME 14:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
