Why the hostility toward Saudi Arabia?
The famous philosopher JeanJacques Rousseau once said: “The higher a person is, the more he is surrounded by clouds and ordeals.”
What proves this saying is the repeated attempts by some people to tarnish the image of the Kingdom and its leaders before the countries of the world. The question is why have these attempts multiplied lately? In my opinion, because of the country’s achievements under the Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 and the reforms at all levels whether political, economic, social, educational, or cultural which were accomplished within a few years, saved us tens of years.
In spite of that, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman remained resilient like a mountain unshaken by storms of destructive criticism, for he has a noble vision that he seeks to achieve to develop the country and its citizens. On the global front, the crown prince has called on supporting the oppressed and for peace and security in the Muslim and Arab countries.
The crown prince enjoys strong relations with the most powerful countries in the world, exchanging mutual benefits among states.
This includes the support to the brothers in the legitimate government of Yemen against the Houthis and their allies of the unjust Iranian hegemonic ambitions. The crown prince also helped mend fences between the presidents of Ethiopia and Eritrea after a long and bloody war, which lasted for more than 20 years. He enjoys strong relations with the most powerful countries in the world, exchanging mutual benefits among states.
During the reign of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and the crown prince, the Kingdom ranked among the top 20 most powerful economies in the world, due to the prominent role that it plays in guaranteeing the stability of the oil global markets. The country produces 13 percent of the international oil output and has the capacity to confront any disturbance in international markets.
The Kingdom no longer depends on oil as a sole source of income as special care has been given to non-oil exports like Industry, international trade, tourism, entertainment and others.
