Government press conference: Ministers of Information and Municipalities and the head of SDAIA review the latest developments
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will host a new session of its “Government Press Conference” tomorrow, Monday. This conference is the Kingdom’s premier official communication platform for showcasing national achievements and discussing the latest developments. The upcoming session will feature three high-ranking government officials: His Excellency the Minister of Media, Mr. Salman bin Yousef Al-Dossari; His Excellency the Minister of Municipalities and Housing, Mr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Hogail; and His Excellency the President of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi.
Vital issues on the discussion table
The conference is scheduled to address a range of strategic issues that directly affect citizens and align with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. His Excellency the Minister of Media, Mr. Salman Al-Dossari, will review the most prominent developments in the Kingdom, highlighting the national achievements made during the past period, and the government's ongoing efforts to enhance quality of life and economic growth.
In a related context, His Excellency the Minister of Municipalities and Housing, Mr. Majid Al-Hogail, will address a crucial aspect of the transformation journey within the third sector (the non-profit sector) of the municipalities and housing system. This focus underscores the government's commitment to activating the role of the non-profit sector in community development and providing sustainable housing solutions for the most vulnerable groups, thereby strengthening social solidarity and family stability.
Technology in the service of charitable work
Regarding digital transformation, His Excellency Dr. Abdullah Al-Ghamdi, President of SDAIA, will review the role of data and artificial intelligence in enabling charitable work, with a particular focus on the “Ihsan Platform.” This national platform is a pioneering model in leveraging technology to enhance the reliability of donations and improve the efficiency of charitable work, ensuring that support reaches those who need it easily and transparently.
The importance and implications of the government press conference
The government press conference is of particular importance as it serves as a bridge for direct communication between officials, citizens, and the media. These periodic sessions reinforce the principle of transparency adopted by the Kingdom's government, ensuring that the public is kept informed of development plans and projects as they unfold.
The gathering of these officials under one umbrella also reflects governmental integration between different ministries and agencies. Linking the media (as the voice of the event), municipalities and housing (as a service and development sector), and SDAIA (as a digital and technological enabler) demonstrates a comprehensive vision for managing national initiatives, where efforts are combined to serve people and places, and to enhance digital and social infrastructure simultaneously.
