Saudi Arabia: Century’s Biggest Success Story Celebrates its National Day 2023

Saudi Arabia, under King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed’s leadership, has managed to leave its mark on the international arena.

Saudi Arabia celebrated its 93rd National Day on Saturday 22 September 2023. It is an occasion for Saudis to celebrate important developments of the Kingdom’s history, since its founding by King Abdulaziz and until the present under the reign of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.

Saudi Arabia, under King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed’s leadership, has managed to leave its mark on the international arena and develop a firm, determined, just and balanced policy. It approved projects that will elevate the country to new heights in the future, building on the achievements of past rulers.

Crown Prince Mohammed is the charismatic leader who, ever since emerging in the political arena, has prioritized critical economic, development, political, intellectual and social affairs with their local, regional and international dimensions. He succeeded in laying the foundation for a new policy for the Kingdom that addresses both the present and the future according to a clear strategy that breaks away from traditional approaches and solutions.

“ Saudi Arabia dreams have not stopped since the foundation of the Kingdom. Every one has a role to play in highlighting the progress that has been made and sharing the Kingdom’s story of transformation.”

He chose to focus on the Kingdom’s strengths and massive potential, steering the country away from reliance on oil as a sole source of revenue. He believes that a great future lies in store for Saudi Arabia because he is convinced that the people have only exploited ten percent of their country’s potential. Moreover, he believes that the Kingdom’s location, at an intersection between Asia, Europe and Africa, allows it to become pivotal for these three continents.

In an interview with Bret Baier, chief political anchor of Fox News, at NEOM earlier this week, Crown Prince Mohammed said the Kingdom is “the biggest success story of the 21st century.”

He stressed that Saudi Arabia was the fastest growing country in all sectors, and had achieved the fastest growth in gross domestic product (GDP) among the G20 countries for two consecutive years.
