RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Justice, Walid Al-Samaani, underlined on Sunday the crucial role of a robust judicial system in attracting investment and supporting sustainable development. Speaking at the second International Conference on Justice in Riyadh, Al-Samaani stressed that an effective legal framework is essential for building a competitive, investor-friendly economy something the Kingdom has worked to advance through ongoing government support.
Deputy Minister of Justice Najm Al-Zaid showcased the nation’s digital transformation efforts, spotlighting the “Najiz” platform.

The conference gathered ministers and legal experts from around the world. Turkish Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc likened the quality of the judiciary and legislature to the “backbone and nerve” of a nation’s system, and highlighted the urgent need for digital upgrades in the justice sector. Hungarian Justice Minister Bence Tozson emphasized that transparency and adherence to EU judicial standards are essential for competitiveness.
Anna Jobin-Bert, secretary-general of the UN Commission on International Trade Law, announced recent commission-led training on cross-border insolvency held in Saudi Arabia and highlighted a new focus on leveraging digital platforms for alternative dispute resolution, aiming for greater integration and transparency.
