Saudi Ministry of Finance Joins 16th UN Anti-Corruption Session
The Ministry of Finance took part in the 16th session of meetings under the United Nations Convention against Corruption, held from June 16 to 20, 2025, at the United Nations headquarters in Vienna, Austria. During the session, the Ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's strong commitment to fostering integrity and fair competition in public procurement, as well as to deploying robust mechanisms to combat, detect, and prevent corruption. Central to these efforts is the implementation of key legal and institutional reforms, including the launch of the government procurement e-portal, Etimad. UN Anti-Corruption Session Etimad serves as a centralized platform through which all public tendering and procurement processes are conducted. By mandating digital procedures, the platform ensures transparency, procedural integrity, and data confidentiality. It also enables stakeholders and the public to access comprehensive information on tenders, contracts, and related activities. Each government entity maintains a dedicated record, enhancing oversight and compliance with relevant regulations. The Saudi delegation also showcased the Kingdom's initiative to standardize technical systems across government bodies through the Unified Government Resources Planning System, which documents procurement activities from their initial stages—prior to public announcement—through completion. This promotes seamless integration and greater accountability. Further emphasizing its commitment to innovation in oversight, the Kingdom introduced Raqeeb, an advanced system that leverages artificial intelligence and data analytics to detect fraud and irregularities throughout the procurement process. Raqeeb is designed to identify practices such as bid rigging, collusion, price manipulation, favoritism, and the use of fictitious entities. It enables dynamic monitoring and swift intervention while maintaining the highest standards of data protection. The Ministry's participation in these international meetings reflects Saudi Arabia's active role in global anti-corruption efforts and its dedication to exchanging knowledge and best practices in alignment with the UN Convention. This engagement also supports the broader objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which prioritizes good governance, transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption as key pillars of national transformation.

Saudi Arabia Expresses Deep Concern over US Strikes on Iran
Saudi Arabia has expressed its deep concern over the US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, urging restraint to avoid more escalation, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement. 'Saudi Arabia is following with deep concern the developments' in Iran, particularly the targeting of Iranian nuclear facilities by the US, the statement said. Reiterating its position on the Israeli attacks on Iran, the Kingdom strongly denounced the violation of Iran's sovereignty, emphasizing the need to exert all possible efforts to 'exercise restraint, de-escalate, and avoid further escalation.' Moreover, Saudi Arabia urged the international community to 'intensify efforts during such highly sensitive circumstances in order to reach a political solution that ends the crisis and opens a new chapter for achieving security and stability in the region.' Early on Sunday, the US President, Donald Trump, announced that the US launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, threatening more military force if Iran attacked American interests in the region. Iran responded by accusing the US of launching a 'dangerous war' on Iran amid ongoing diplomatic efforts, saying that Tehran reserves the right to defend itself with full force. Moreover, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, warned that the US 'outrageous' attacks will have 'everlasting consequences.' Following the US strikes on Iran, the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, warned of the dangerous consequences of military escalation. 'I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security,' he wrote on X. 'There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world,' he added. Short link : Post Views: 61
