The Cultural Insurance Conference is a testament to the Ministry’s broader efforts to promote the cultural insurance product, fostering a culture of preservation and protection of cultural assets.
By hosting this event, the Ministry aims to educate and engage stakeholders, ensuring a collective responsibility towards safeguarding the Kingdom’s rich cultural legacy.
