In 2016, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched the Kingdom’s VISION 2030 REFORM PLAN. Under the directive of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and the Crown Prince, the country began its journey of unprecedented historic transformation by implementing reforms in the public sector, economy, and society as a whole.
2030 Vision
The efforts made so far have led to improved government efficiency, new growth and investment opportunities, greater global engagement, and enhanced the quality of life of Saudi citizens. With six years remaining to achieve all objectives outlined in VISION 2030, here are the overarching goals of the Kingdom’s ambitious plan:
Create a vibrant society
The first goal of VISION 2030 is to cultivate a content and fulfilled society, laying the foundation for the ‘attainment of economic prosperity’. According to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 official website, the goal focuses on creating strong roots that embrace modern Islam, national pride and Saudi heritage and culture, while also providing world-class entertainment options, sustainable living, and efficient health and social care systems.
The objectives to achieving a vibrant society are: increasing the average life expectancy from 74 years to 80 years; raising Saudi Arabia’s Social Capital Index from 26th place to 10th place; having three Saudi cities rank in the top 100 globally; increasing the population’s rate of weekly exercise from 13 percent to 40 percent; increasing household annual spending on local cultural and entertainment activities from 2.9 percent to 6 percent; doubling the number of Saudi properties inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List; and increasing Saudi Arabia’s annual capacity to welcome Umrah visitors from 6.2 million to 30 million.
Women’s empowerment and youth engagement are also top priorities of social reform in the Kingdom. Meanwhile, greater access to education and jobs are making the Kingdom a more inclusive society. To enhance the quality of life in Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom is prioritizing physical, psychological and social well-being. This involves becoming a host for world-class entertainment events spanning from concerts and premier art festivals to global sporting events. The government is also dedicated to improving and digitizing public services to better meet the needs of citizens, residents and businesses.
Build a thriving economy
The second objective of VISION 2030 is to build a thriving economy by creating an environment that supports economic growth and generates job opportunities for citizens. Women’s empowerment and youth engagement are top priorities for economic growth in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia intends to achieve this by leveraging its unique location and potential, attracting top talent and increasing global investment. To become a leading global economy, Saudi Arabia aims to improve its business environment, restructure its economic cities by creating special zones and deregulate the energy market to make it more competitive. It has also launched new sectors and privatized some government services to diversify the country’s economy and ensure its sustainability.
The country aims to leverage its unique geolocation to become a major hub for international trade and form new partnerships that help grow its economy, as well as support the Kingdom’s domestic companies by increasing exports.
The main targets to achieving a thriving economy are: increasing Saudi Arabia’s share of non-oil exports in non-oil GDP from 18.7 percent to 50 percent; raising Saudi Arabia’s Logistics Performance Index ranking from 49 to 25; increasing the private sector’s contribution to the country’s GDP from 40 percent to 65 percent; increasing foreign direct investment’s contribution to the GDP from 3.8 percent to 5.7 percent; raising Saudi Arabia’s Global Competitive Index ranking from 25th place to top 10; increasing the Public Investment Fund’s assets from more than $159 billion to more than $1.86 trillion; raising Saudi Arabia’s economic position from the 19th largest to the top 15; and increasing the localization of the oil and gas sector from 40 percent to 75 percent.
Become an ambitious nation
According to THE VISION 2030 website, the third overarching goal of the reform plan is to become an ambitious nation.
A well-governed country that is transparent and accountable will encourage all society – citizens, businesses, and non-profit organizations – to play a leading role in pursuing opportunities that advance Saudi Arabia’s collective future. The Saudi government is committed to being transparent and accountable, managing its finances efficiently and effectively, being agile and tracking its performance.Under this goal, the non-profit sector plays an important part in Saudi society and in the needs of communities and promoting social progress.
The targets under this goal are: rallying one million volunteers annually compared to 11,000 in 2016; increasing the nonprofit sector’s contribution to the GDP from less than 1 percent to 5 percent; increasing household savings of the total income from 6 percent to 10 percent; raising Saudi Arabia’s E-Government Survey Index ranking from 36th place to the top 5; raising Saudi Arabia’s Government Effectiveness Index ranking from 80th place to 20th; and increasing non-oil government revenue from $43 billion to $265 billion.
RIYADH: Riyadh’s hosting of the World Economic Forum this week is a signal of the global business community’s growing interest in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 reform agenda, Luigi Di Maio, the EU special representative for the Gulf region, has said. WEF’s special meeting on global collaboration, growth and energy for development took place in the Saudi capital on April 28-29 and was attended by 1,000 government, business and civil society leaders. Di Maio, who is approaching his first anniversary in his role as EU special representative for the Gulf region, believes the choice of Riyadh as the summit venue reflects changing global perceptions of the Kingdom.
“First of all, THE FACT THAT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM, FOR THE FIRST TIME, IS IN RIYADH, TESTIFIES TO THE INTEREST OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AT THE WORLD LEVEL ABOUT THE VISION 2030 PROGRAM,” Di Maio told Arab News on Tuesday. “The ambitions, especially economic ambitions, of Saudi Arabia are totally changing perceptions of the Kingdom around the world. There is a business community that is more and more interested in these ambitions, in this vision, and in a new generation of dreamers in this country.” In a wide-ranging interview, which touched on EU-Gulf cooperation on Gaza, new visa rules for citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council area, and the establishment of a European Chamber of Commerce in Riyadh, Di Maio lauded recent strides in bilateral relations. “The WEF was an important opportunity to have real and practical solutions for both sides,” he said. “For instance, His Highness, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Energy Abdulaziz bin Salman, had a bilateral meeting with EU Commissioner for Energy (Kadri Simson).
“And after this meeting, they published a joint statement saying that they discussed and they concluded the discussion about the idea, in a few months, to sign an MoU about energy partnership, energy collaboration.

“And this testifies, again, HOW MUCH THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM HERE IN RIYADH WAS EVEN A CONCRETE AND PRAGMATIC SOLUTION, IN ORDER TO HAVE BILATERALS RESULTING IN MOUS, AGREEMENTS AND NEW PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN SAUDI ARABIA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.”

24 And his power shall (7) be mighty, but not by his own (7) power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, (7) and shall prosper, and practice, and shall (7) destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 (7) And through his policy also he shall (7) cause craft to prosper in his hand; (7) and he shall magnify himself in his (7) heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also (7) stand up against the Prince of princes; (7) but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:23-25)

During his tenure as special representative, Di Maio said, the bilateral alignment between the EU and Saudi Arabia has grown even stronger, with a particular focus on common security interests, particularly in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that sparked the ongoing war in Gaza. “There is a strong alignment between European Union member states and European institutions and Saudi Arabia, but I would say even the GCC countries about the two-state solution for the Middle East peace process,” said Di Maio.
“But I would say that in particular, after Oct. 7, the awareness from our side of how much the GCC countries are strategic partners, not just for the contingencies, not just for what is happening now, but for the next decades is even more. “This awareness is increasing a lot, not just at the member states level, but is growing around the world.” This is due in part to a growing recognition of the Kingdom’s diplomatic and economic influence as a regional and global player, Di Maio said.

“Saudi Arabia is becoming more and more the point of reference because now it is implementing its vision for the region that is not just an economic ambition, but is a new policy and new initiatives in order to de-escalate, to make the region in peace and wind down on tensions like the tension that we are experiencing now. “The partnership and the strategic partnership between the EU and GCC countries, in particular with countries like Saudi Arabia, is vital. “For instance, last Monday in Luxembourg, we had the high-level forum of the ministers of foreign affairs between the ministers of the EU and Saudi ministers. Even Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan was in Luxembourg.
“And we discussed several topics in an informal discussion, a very frank discussion, where we understood more and more how much there is a common ground in order to BUILD PEACE AND STABILITY for both regions, keeping in mind that SAUDI ARABIA’S SECURITY IS OUR SECURITY, AND, IF I MAY, OUR SECURITY IS SAUDI ARABIA’S SECURITY.” In particular, Di Maio said, cooperation on the Gaza crisis has brought the EU and the GCC closer than before, with joint work on ceasefire negotiations, humanitarian aid access, and the ambition to establish an independent Palestinian state.“The situation in Gaza is not just about how to politically solve this dramatic issue, but even how to work together about humanitarian aid access,” said Di Maio.

“We have to do more and more about how to allow the entrance of trucks in Gaza and how to deliver humanitarian aid to the people there. And we are working a lot with Saudi Arabia and others in the GCC, like the UAE, for the corridor between Cyprus and Gaza, and Qatar for the negotiations.” “We are a team. At the beginning of this conflict, I was concerned about the situation, even, of our relations, the EU-GCC. But I’m experiencing that facing, together, this dramatic issue, we are even closer than before.” He added: “My perception is that we have to be optimists. We have to work hard on the ceasefire using all the leverage at the world level in order to bring closer the two sides in order to have this ceasefire.
“I think that, again, the countries of the region, like Saudi Arabia, but even countries like Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, they are protagonists of this process. “And only with the leadership from the region we will be able to have a sustainable ceasefire, because the Saudis are the only ones that are guarantors of a ceasefire about Gaza on their side, because they are very well, they know very well the dynamics of the region and how to avoid a new Oct. 7 and the new conflict in Gaza.” Di Maio used his interview with Arab News to announce the forthcoming inauguration of a new European Chamber of Commerce in Riyadh — the first in the GCC area — that will bring together Saudi and European firms to enhance trade and cooperation.

“I am very happy to announce here during this interview that next week, on May 8, we will inaugurate here in Riyadh the first ever European Chamber of Commerce, the first ever in the Gulf of the EU,” he said. “We’ve worked very hard with (Saudi Arabia’s) Ministry of Investment, the Ministry of Trade. The EU delegation in Riyadh did a great job. And now we are going to inaugurate this chamber. “That is in order to bring closer our companies, Saudi companies and European companies, in order to take on both sides the new opportunities of the Vision program, but even of our new European Green Deal, Next Generation EU, and others.
“And there will be a very articulated board with several companies from Europe, the most important, among the most important ones.”

Di Maio also highlighted the recent announcement of a new five-year multi-entry visa for Saudi, Bahraini and Omani citizens entering the EU. “I’m very happy to announce that last Monday (April 23), the European Commission approved the five years visa cascade,” he said. “That means that when a Saudi, for instance, citizen will ask for a new visa, will apply for a visa, the validity of this visa for multiple entries will be of five years, and not just one year. “And it will be for Saudi people, for Bahraini people, and for Omani people. Qataris and Kuwaitis, they already had. Now all the GCC countries are aligned for five years. This is good news for the future.
“But we have a period of time where your citizens, your students, your entrepreneurs, your researchers, your tourists, can come to Europe without much bureaucracy.” Di Maio also took the opportunity to highlight a new collaboration between the EU and the GCC supporting young diplomats. “In mid-May this year, we will have the first ever young diplomats program,” he said. “That is a program where young diplomats from the GCC will come to Bruges in Belgium and they will have joint training and joint simulations with our young diplomats from the EU. “In Bruges, there is the Diplomatic Academy of the EU. It is a new project in order to train European diplomats. And we will have a first ever project between the EU and GCC where your young diplomats will be trained and will be in simulations with our young diplomats.
“It will be very important to explain better how it works, the complicated machine of the EU, but in particular, this is an opportunity to bring closer our diplomats, our youths. “And I hope that these kinds of projects, like for the diplomats, will be opportunities for students as well, for young workers as well. We will work on this kind of people-to-people interactions because they are crucial in order to bring our societies closer. “And, if I may, as we bring our people closer, there will be less Islamophobia, less hate. And this is very important for our societies.”

White Horseman
The White Horseman Prince Beast Antichrist Mahdi Rides a White Arabian Stallion.RIYADH: The Arabian horse is an important historical and cultural symbol for the Arab world, both ancient and modern. Arabian horses have been the subject of songs and poetry praising their individual and physical qualities down through the ages.
MbS (Man-by-Satan) – the Great Speaker, Prince or Beast Performs Wondrously and Deceivingly
Jesus Christ is (7) the ‘ONE’ worthy to open the SEALS:
Revelation 6 And I (7) saw when the Lamb opened one of (7) the seals, and I heard, as it (7) were the noise of thunder, one of (7) the four beasts saying, Come and see. (7777)
Commentary; the rider is the ‘beast’ or ‘antichrist’. His being clothed in white suggests ‘3’ false righteousness, false peace and false authority. He has a bow, but no arrows. He rules with lies and threats, but no military or arms. He conquers and subjugates, not with force but with ‘5’ lies, deception, false covenants and false agreements and false promises. He is the world’s greatest ‘political’ leader and deceiver. He is the one who ‘confirms the false covenant of seven years with Jacob’ which starts the tribulation. You should know now of who I speak. His ‘crown’ represents authority, rulership and position. It even literally represents his ‘position’ as Crown Prince, once the tribulation begins. My discernment is that the ‘white horse upon which he sits’ is symbolically a white Arabian stallion.
