His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, affirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has successfully presented an inspiring model to the world. He explained that after a decade of comprehensive development under Saudi Vision 2030, the country has set an exceptional example in transforming visions into tangible realities, thanks to the will and determination of the sons and daughters of this generous nation, and with the support of its effective institutions that worked harmoniously to achieve these major national goals.
In his remarks, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince added that the unprecedented achievements of recent years place a great responsibility and a new challenge upon everyone to redouble their efforts.

The historical context of the launch of Saudi Vision 2030
Since the launch of Saudi Vision 2030 in 2016, the Kingdom has undergone radical transformations across all sectors. This ambitious vision serves as a strategic roadmap aimed at reducing dependence on oil, diversifying economic revenue streams, and developing public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, and entertainment. The vision is based on three main pillars: building a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation. Over the past few years, the Kingdom has successfully implemented wide-ranging structural reforms, including empowering Saudi women in the labor market, developing the tourism sector, and opening its doors to foreign investment, making the Saudi economy one of the fastest-growing economies within the G20.
Comprehensive and sustainable impact locally, regionally and internationally
The impact of these transformations was not limited to Saudi Arabia alone, but extended to the regional and international arenas. Domestically, mega-projects such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya have contributed to creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and raising the quality of life for citizens and residents. The Kingdom has also witnessed significant leaps in global performance indicators, including those related to competitiveness, ease of doing business, and digital transformation.
At the regional and international levels, the Kingdom has solidified its position as a leading economic and political power in the Middle East. It now plays a pivotal role in stabilizing global energy markets and leading major environmental initiatives such as the Saudi Green Initiative and the Green Middle East Initiative. This exceptional model, highlighted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, affirms to the world that strong political will, supported by an ambitious people, can achieve remarkable feats and change the course of history toward a brighter and more sustainable future.
