Saudi Arabia with an exemplary vision that yields remarkable achievements

Jameel Altheyabi

This year, Saudi Arabia's National Day arrives with a tapestry of remarkable achievements articulated in clear, concrete terms. As I reflect on this occasion, I am reminded of how far we have come as a nation and the dreams that continue to inspire us.

King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al-Saud, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia, united the fragmented regions of the Kingdom, establishing a solid foundation for this great nation through heroic feats that heralded progress and prosperity. Today, under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, the Kingdom flourishes in a prosperous era.

Saudi Arabia has become a stellar pillar among the nations of the world, thanks to its significant achievements and high-level initiatives that have positioned it as a global leader in economic, political, technological, sports, tourism, and various other fields.

Riyadh plays a vital leadership role in the Arab and Islamic worlds by supporting their causes and engaging in international diplomacy aimed at peacefully resolving disputes. The Kingdom’s sound policies and wise approach to managing internal and external affairs enhance security and stability, ensuring the well-being and prosperity of its people.

Saudi Arabia's political strategy emphasizes the importance of dialogue in resolving conflicts and global issues. The Kingdom maintains a balanced relationship with international powers, preserving its sovereignty while fostering partnerships based on mutual interests and non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations.

Quality of life in the Kingdom has become a tangible reality, driven by sustainable development plans and an ambitious vision that prioritizes its citizens. Saudi Arabia promotes citizenship and coexistence, positioning itself as a peacemaker and a host for international conferences, presenting a modern, civilized model that captivates the world.

The Kingdom is committed to maintaining sustainable economic growth and achieving the objectives of Vision 2030, transforming its economy from oil dependence to a diversified model based on industry, innovation, technology, and clean energy. Giga projects such as NEOM, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea Project are advancing, alongside substantial investments in infrastructure, public transportation networks, smart cities, and technology. The Kingdom also emphasizes research and development while facilitating foreign investment.

As part of this development renaissance, Saudi Arabia has emerged as a global destination, enhancing tourist zones, developing heritage sites, and supporting major cultural and sporting events to attract visitors and investors.

Education, a cornerstone of development and renaissance, has received significant attention in the Kingdom. It is now recognized as a global model for quality and outcomes. Young Saudi men and women consistently excel in Arab and international scientific and educational competitions.

On a personal note, I find great pride in witnessing the dedication and resilience of our youth, who are not just the leaders of tomorrow but also the architects of our nation’s future. Their commitment to excellence embodies the spirit of this National Day.

Today, on the 94th anniversary of the unification of this great entity, Saudi Arabia continues to forge ahead on the path of progress, competitiveness, construction, and growth. Another year is added to its storied history, filled with achievements, goodness, and peace.

As we celebrate this momentous occasion, let us all engage in our communities, participate in the festivities, and reflect on how we can contribute to our Kingdom’s vision. Happy National Day! May the Kingdom enjoy peace and prosperity forever.
