On the occasion of three centuries of time for the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the unification of its lands and raising its flag with a flapper, I would like to thank the Saudi leadership and people for the wonderful experience in the Kingdom.

And the transformation that it witnessed over the decades of elevation, stability and development. Especially during the era of King Salman, may God protect him, and his faithful Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the architect of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the owner of the great transformation, placing the name of our beloved Kingdom in the ranks of the great powers and a number that no one in the East or the West can surpass.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to work and live in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the past 15 years, and I cannot be thankful enough on what this country has offered and teaches me every single day. Traditions, culture and values I have not seen in any other country that I have worked or lived in previously.

I have worked, lived or traveled in many countries and continents. I’m honored to say that the Kingdom has such an amazing affect on my life as a Westerner that words cannot describe it. The Vision of Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and the development that has taken place through his leadership are just unmatched and translate immense positive effects on people, country, region and globally.

I feel excited every single time I travel to my home country to have conversations with people that know little about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and tell them how much I admire the people, the country and leadership I experience in the Kingdom.

Many other parts of the world have started noticing that true leadership that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia illustrates is not just positive for KSA but positively impacts the rest of the world.
