Under the theme "Our History and Future: Security and Prosperity," the Ministry of Interior, under the patronage of Interior Minister Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, will organize the 'Security and History Dialogue 2026' conference from September 6 to 8, 2026, at the Cultural Palace in the Diplomatic Quarter, Riyadh. The event will bring together experts, researchers, and academics from Saudi Arabia and abroad.

In an official statement, the ministry said the conference organizing committee described 'Security and History Dialogue' as a national platform uniting specialists and experts to examine the Kingdom’s history in the fields of security and development. The aim is to deepen awareness of Saudi Arabia’s journey, strengthen national identity and belonging, and produce well-documented knowledge for researchers and future generations.

The ministry added that the conference will feature more than 50 panel discussions, special sessions, and interactive meetings, with over 160 speakers from various fields. More than 30 partner organizations will participate, including the King Abdulaziz Foundation as the main partner, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City as the strategic partner, and leading partners Tuwaiq Academy and the Saudi Company for Comprehensive Technical and Security Control (Tahakom). This reflects the breadth and diversity of the program and its accompanying scientific and knowledge contributions.

The conference will offer a diverse intellectual and dialogue program, addressing the evolution of the Saudi state and its security, developmental, economic, social, and cultural dimensions. Topics will also include citizenship, national identity, awareness and moderation, international relations, the development of institutions and security capabilities, and the role of security in supporting investment, creating opportunities, and improving quality of life.

The program includes main panel discussions, special dialogues with prominent national figures, and interactive sessions titled 'Security and History Theater,' which will present milestones from the Kingdom’s history in a narrative and engaging format with the participation of researchers, youth, and postgraduate students. There will also be a 'Security Track' offering a visual and technological experience showcasing the development of Saudi Arabia’s security system, along with a range of accompanying artistic events.
