Held under the theme \"Our History and Our Future: Security and Prosperity\" and attended by over 160 speakers, the forum aimed to review historical security experiences and anticipate changes in security and development. Albudaiwi credited the efforts of Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif and the Ministry staff for organizing the conference. He highlighted the GCC's integration and joint preparedness in addressing security threats, which have evolved from reactive measures to proactive threat disruption. The GCC has made significant strides in combating drug trafficking, money laundering, and cybercrimes, with a draft strategy against AI-related crimes under development. Albudaiwi stressed that AI and modern technologies present both opportunities and challenges for security, urging GCC nations to develop capabilities to anticipate and respond to future crimes using advanced tools while protecting individuals and society. He underscored the importance of joint security drills and highlighted how past security successes in GCC countries can be shared and built upon. He stressed that security and development are intertwined, with security playing a crucial role in protecting development progress. Albudaiwi acknowledged the transformative impact of technology on security, enabling better risk anticipation and protection.",
