During my follow-up to a number of statements by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in many meetings, I was struck by some phrases that I noticed represent the password and the gateway to many of the achievements that have been achieved on the ground during the past few years. When the achievements depend on a solid vision and an enlightened strategy, the achievement becomes Systematically, and success is substantial. Some random achievements may be achieved that are not based on a clear vision and systematic steps. However, they can only be classified as mere isolated and distant achievements that are difficult to replicate or integrate into a comprehensive, integrated future vision. However, when the achievement is based on a crystallized approach and ideas, this success is considered Part of an integrated success system.
On the sixth anniversary of the young Emir’s assumption of the mandate of the Covenant, many pens and programs dealt with the achievements that were achieved during the march of the past years, but here I will not repeat what was narrated, but I will link the approach on which the Emir’s vision is based and the practical reality – which was actually achieved – through A quick review of the most important sayings of the Emir, which represent the key to understanding the impressive successes that have been achieved so far, and the entrance to the future achievements that will affect every citizen.
One of the prince's most famous sayings was his saying that we will not allow the awakening movement to bring us back to the past, "and we will not waste 30 years of our lives dealing with any extremist ideas. We will destroy them today because we want to live a normal life that translates the principles of our tolerant religion and our good customs and traditions." It is a place to be considered the gateway to developing the Kingdom and keeping it away from the specter of extremism and isolation. The Awakening Movement, which spread at the end of the seventies of the last century, was the most important and fundamental cause of many of the problems that the Kingdom faced before, such as the weakness of the investment and tourism sector, and it is also responsible for creating a false image of the Kingdom and its people in front of many countries of the world.
The Emir’s statement in this regard has many indications, perhaps the most important of which is his stress that there is only one authority, which is the state, which means that there is no other parallel authority that works in the shadows to impose its hegemony on aspects of the social life of citizens, which in turn means that the current that was interfering In all aspects of life, imposing his sway over everyone, he ended irreversibly, and perhaps the biggest evidence of this is the flight of many of his symbols to the countries of the West to incite the people in a desperate attempt to distort the achievements made on the ground.
Also among the remarkable statements of the Emir – and which have a deep and close relationship with the previous statement – is his statement on corruption cases that "no person involved in a corruption case will be spared, whether he is a prince or a minister or whoever… whoever has sufficient evidence will be held accountable." This statement in In fact, the matter reflects a new and decisive aspect of the Kingdom, in which corruption issues were one of the most important problems it faced before, and it needed such a decisive and strong approach to eradicate a phenomenon rooted in society that was not easy to eradicate except after crystallizing it in this clear and firm manner, as everyone is equal before The judiciary, and its position will not intercede for any citizen as long as he is involved in a corruption case. Corruption is a putrid quagmire that eats away at the body of the state and its institutions on behalf of a certain group, and in the society of institutions everyone is treated fairly.
Within six years, Saudi Arabia was able to change and complete its development path in a completely different way. The Kingdom has become a regional investment and tourism pole and a major destination for entrepreneurship in the region. With a quick look at any field, we can clarify the amount of changes that occurred in the Kingdom during that very short period. For example, the Saudi media channels multiplied and topped the Arab space with its meaningful and attractive content, and it became the destination of the Arabs in the field of artwork and programs by opening the door for investments in this promising cultural sector. It also became active rapidly in the field of domestic tourism and was able to save billions of riyals that used to go directly to the coffers. many other countries.
We have no doubt that the march of huge and decisive achievements would not have succeeded if it had not been led by a leader with far-sightedness and a window and integrated vision, who has the ability to implement his ideas with sufficient decisiveness and unyielding will. Society, who resist reducing their influence and pulling the rug from under their feet, each Islah has a number of enemies who will spare no effort in setting fires and seeking to fish in troubled waters, but the successful captain does not allow evil winds to hinder the course of his ambitious ship, as adverse winds may curb the speed of objects impulsive forward, but the secret word in perseverance and not succumbing to malevolent headwinds is persistence, decisiveness, hard work and insightful vision, as all the strong adverse winds that the kingdom faced during those six years were unable to discourage the prince's resolve in any way.
Many observers wonder about the Kingdom's ability to achieve huge achievements on the economic, social and even political levels, and they may be surprised at its ability to achieve these achievements in just a few years, asking about the password to access a world full of successive and increasing achievements day after day, but the password is not with this mystery; It is "Mohammed bin Salman".
