RIYADH: The quality of a country’s judicial system is fundamental to attracting investment, Saudi Arabia’s minister of justice said on Sunday.

At the second International Conference on Justice in Riyadh on Sunday, minister Walid Al-Samaani said that a strong judicial system is fundamental to creating an “attractive economic and investment environment that contributes to supporting the path of sustainable development.”

He said the judicial sector in the Kingdom has kept pace with rapid developments in the world, with the support of the Saudi government.

Deputy Minister of Justice Najm Al-Zaid highlighted the role of digital platforms in developing judicial procedures in Saudi Arabia.
