The 90-minute interview with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was dazzling in its details and perceptions, moving from generalities to the smallest details with actual figures, as he outlined the country’s development plans and phases.

Local, regional and international audiences waited for the emergence of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the “visionary” who undertakes the task of explaining what is happening — making him a safety valve and a source of inspiration, passion and positive influence.

Every time the crown prince appears in the media, he covers the issues comprehensively, with complete transparency and in a systematic manner that is easy to follow and understand.

The crown prince outlined the measures and decisions taken in order to address the problem of unemployment, and the remarkable, positive results achieved in transforming the economy from one suffering from many imbalances to one that is sustainable, achieving serious growth and actively solving the challenges it faces.

The crown prince has broadly assured peace and stability in the region and the world with strategic partnerships and a moderate approach. He reassured the world when he emphasized the consistency and rationality of the Kingdom’s policy, which advances the national interest, and places an emphasis on the prosperity and safety of his nation as his first priority. The crown prince talked with clarity about what has already been achieved and, looking to future generations, acknowledged that Saudi Arabia’s greatest asset and true wealth is its citizens.

In 90 minutes, the crown prince talked about the progress that has so far been made by the Vision 2030 program, with dazzling historical, political, economic and social insights, and an emphasis on transparency, positivity, determination, ambition and moderation.

In 90 minutes, he reassured his citizens with a courageous speech from the heart, and with utter frankness, clear logic and strong arguments, winning admiration from local, regional and international audiences.

The crown prince also touched on the realistic goals achieved, despite the exceptional challenges witnessed in 2020. He said the Kingdom will achieve even greater targets in 2030, as the word “fear” does not exist in the dictionary for Saudis, and because the most important pillar of the Kingdom’s success is his fellow citizens.
