✍️ Riyadh – BETH News Agency

On the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, affirmed that the Kingdom has every right to be proud of the qualitative achievements it has made, which have placed it among the ranks of advanced nations and raised its flag high among the nations.

In his statement marking the release of the 2024 annual Vision 2030 report, King Salman said:

“These achievements would not have been possible without the determination of our young men and women, who have set an exemplary model of work, creativity, and dedication for the sake of their nation.”

He noted that what the Kingdom has achieved in less than a decade has made it a global model in transformation and development paths, adding that the successes witnessed across various sectors reflect the Kingdom’s ambitious vision and its ability to deliver results in record time.

The King also stated:

“The sons and daughters of the Kingdom have moved forward into the future with firm confidence, grounded in their pure Islamic faith and authentic Arab values, and equipped with knowledge and education. They have proven to be the best builders of their nation’s renaissance, a source of pride for its leadership, and true partners in the journey of sustainable development and comprehensive prosperity.”

Qualitative Programs and Transformative Shifts

The report indicated that the Vision Realization Programs—medium-term initiatives launched to support Vision 2030—have enhanced their capabilities by developing regulatory and legislative tools and improving cooperation between government entities, which in turn increased the vision’s chances of success.

These programs have also launched landmark projects, introduced fundamental changes across promising sectors, and contributed to boosting competitiveness, stimulating investment, and expanding the national economy.

Furthermore, the programs have updated their policies, launched new initiatives to keep pace with global changes, and enhanced flexibility—while merging or canceling certain programs to improve efficiency and ensure strategic integration. As a result, the number of Vision Realization Programs was reduced from 13 to 10 to date.

Crown Prince: The Citizen is the Foundation and Goal

For his part, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, emphasized that the Kingdom is proud of what its citizens have achieved in the ninth year since the launch of Vision 2030. He noted:

“National ambitions have overcome challenges, and the Saudi citizen has proven capable of transforming ambition into achievement.”

His Royal Highness stated:

“Vision 2030 was launched with the citizen at its core—he is both its pillar and its ultimate goal.”

He added that what has been achieved thus far is the result of combined national efforts that have contributed to meeting targets—and even surpassing them in certain areas.

He emphasized that any accomplishment made under the umbrella of Vision 2030 serves as a source of national pride and benefit for the citizen, offering future generations protection from volatility and strengthening the sustainability of national development.

The Crown Prince confirmed that the Kingdom is moving forward with unwavering determination to achieve the full scope of the Vision, renewing the commitment to double efforts and reinforce Saudi Arabia’s status as a leading global power.

Entering Maturity and Implementation Phases

Vision 2030 now stands at the threshold of completing its second phase (2021–2025), having laid a solid foundation to support the achievement of its strategic objectives. This was enabled by a focused methodology that linked financial planning with vision targets, thereby improving the efficiency of government performance.

In 2024, the Vision Realization Programs continue to advance based on clear strategic priorities, monitored closely by specialized committees, using a modern digital platform (SNA) that ensures efficiency, transparency, and accountability.

While some major projects are still under implementation, others have transitioned into new phases of maturity, with greater focus on maximizing economic and social impact and ensuring long-term sustainability.

Toward a Solid Future

Vision 2030 asserts that adopting the highest global standards and practices is the best path to realizing its ambitious goals. Accordingly, government teams, private sector players, and non-profit partners continue to work collaboratively to achieve quantum leaps that will position Saudi Arabia among the world’s top economies.

The Vision is expected to continue delivering transformative achievements that will positively impact quality of life, economic opportunity development, business environment improvement, and ensure the sustainability of national progress for generations to come.
