Already part of the Executive Board as well as the World Heritage Committee, Saudi Arabia complements its efforts protecting cultural heritage by joining the Intangible Cultural Heritage Intergovernmental Committee, joining 20 other states that enforce the 5 C’s (Credibility, Conservation, Capacity-building, Communication, and Communities) which help the world move forward while cherishing its roots.
