At a time when challenges are crowded and the options are narrowed, a national project rarely comes out to turn the equations of geography, history and economics at the same time. However, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – with its leadership and vision – did so. It is not satisfied with reforming the past, but rather builds the future on the ruins of traditional expectations.
For years, talking about change in the Gulf was meeting with some doubt in Western circles. But today, Riyadh becomes a reference that cannot be ignored in analyzing the transformations of the Middle East, not only because it rearranges its inner home, but because it does so quickly, with a calculated silence, and with a design that does not know the frequency.
– From oil to ambition: Vision 2030 was not just an ambitious statement. Rather, it was – a delicate road map, which reflects a rare understanding of the challenges of the future. The Kingdom has witnessed a deliberate transition from an economy based on rentier donations to a productive economy based on innovation, clean technologies, and global partnerships.
“Neum” and “The Line” are not only urban projects, but a test of the region’s ability to absorb the concepts of future cities – a sustainable environment, artificial intelligence, and well -being directed to man.
Who was expected to turn Saudi cities into theaters of creativity? Cinema, music, theater, even car races and “Formula 1”, is now part of daily life. The woman, who was one day marginalized in stereotypes, has today become active, leader, and participating in all scenes.
This is not “liberal liberalism”, but rather a local formula for a new identity … more open, without losing roots.
Diplomacy of influence: In international politics, Riyadh is no longer just a party to be consulted, but rather has become a center of effect on which the mapping of the maps. From the mediation between Russia and Ukraine, to peace initiatives in Sudan, Yemen and Syria, Saudi Arabia confirms that it is at the heart of the event.
But the most important thing is its explicit and continuous support for the Palestinian cause, and its active contribution to promoting international recognition of the State of Palestine, which brought the momentum back to the Palestinian file and stressed that Riyadh does not abandon the principles of the nation.
Saudi Arabia today manages regional balances, and does not wait for them. It is a soft diplomatic force, formulating the future of the region with a mixture of wisdom and effectiveness.
– The cornerstone of the cornerstone: Perhaps the greatest achieved by the Kingdom during the last decade, not in the towers, nor in conferences, not even in the billionaire agreements … but in building a new collective awareness: that modernization is a necessity, and that the future is not expected, but is made.
The Saudi National Day is no longer a festive occasion, but a birth certificate for a vision that decided not to compromise on ambition.
This is the difference between the countries that interact, and those that decide.
And among those who are forced to change .. and whoever makes change by his will.
