Interpol is set to establish an office in Saudi Arabia that will serve the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Saudi Arabia's Minister of Interior, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz, and President of Interpol, Major General Dr. Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi, witnessed the signing of the Host Country Agreement on Wednesday.

The agreement was signed by Ministry of Interior Undersecretary Dr. Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al-Faleh and Interpol Secretary-General Jürgen Stock, reported the Saudi Press Agency. The signing followed Prince Abdulaziz’s meeting with the Interpol president at the Ministry of Interior, during which they reviewed the organization’s efforts and discussed topics of mutual interest. According to a statement released by Interpol, the establishment of the regional bureau was first proposed in 2016 at the Interpol Chiefs of Police Meeting for the MENA region. The plan was subsequently endorsed by Interpol's General Assembly in Chile in 2019, with final approval for the Host Country Agreement from the Executive Committee in May 2024.
