King Salman and H.H Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, Ambassador Al Ruwaily highlighted Saudi Arabia’s quest for diversification, higher investment returns, and the forging of new strategic alliances with African partners. Vision 2030, a blueprint for economic transformation, marks a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s pursuit of global collaborations and sustainable growth.
