Interior Minister Mazen Faraya said in opening remarks that in view of the
ministry's role to develop its services and systems, and due to its legal
jurisdiction on foreigners' entry to and residence in the Kingdom, and recent
regional developments, an urgent need emerged to adopt a new management
approach of their files, basically depending on migration governance given the
existence of multiple sources of foreigners' data, which made it hard to track
their records.
