Just a few hours after the Kingdom celebrated achievements coinciding with eight years of Vision 2030, it celebrated these accomplishments again during the special session of the World Economic Forum, which concluded its activities in the capital, Riyadh, yesterday. The Kingdom aimed to convey its unique experience in reshaping the national economy according to scientific foundations, from which the country has advanced toward further progress and prosperity.
The Kingdom's hosting of the meeting was not arbitrary; it stemmed from the political and economic stability that the Kingdom has enjoyed for decades, augmented by the innovation of Vision 2030 that was launched in the summer of 2016. Since then, the Kingdom has achieved a new and unique accomplishment every day, recognized and praised by the world, with its signs evident in various international indicators across many fields.
Recognizing the significance of this meeting, which commenced under the slogan "International Cooperation, Growth, and Energy for Development," the Kingdom prepared well in advance, culminating in the patronage of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Moreover, the Kingdom emphasized to the world that the challenges facing the international economy, especially in the energy sector, require all countries to cooperate and align more than ever to overcome these challenges.
Guests of the meeting utilized the forum platform to depict a thriving picture of what the nations of the world should be in terms of economic growth, political stability, and constructive cooperation to address the problems facing the planet. Saudi officials successfully communicated the details and secrets of Vision 2030 and its contributions to the country’s advancement and growth across all fields, creating a stunning scene that positions the vision as an icon of global prosperity and brilliance, provided its programs are implemented with seriousness and dedication.
What transpired during the two days of the meeting made it successful by all standards, reaffirming that solving the world's issues does not depend solely on the decisions of a specific country, but that all nations must engage in reform programs under a clear vision and unwavering determination. This underscores the outcomes of Saudi Vision 2030, which has enabled the Kingdom to achieve all its aspirations at a time when the world is grappling with multiple crises, the first of which was the COVID-19 pandemic and the latest involving the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
