Saudi Crown Prince’s Reforms ‘appreciated Throughout The World’
Category: POLITICAL

The world is watching with interest the reforms taking place in Saudi Arabia under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 strategy, Pakistani President Dr. Arif Alvi said on Monday.

Speaking exclusively to Arab News during a wide-ranging interview in Islamabad, Alvi described Saudi Arabia’s new direction toward moderation and modernization as extremely important.

“I think the opening up of Saudi Arabia under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been very important. It’s being watched. It’s being appreciated throughout the world,” Alvi said.

He praised the Kingdom’s fight against extremism, and said the campaign is aligned with Pakistan’s own war on extremism and obscurantism.

“It’s important to let the people know, who sometimes are misinformed regarding Islamic tenets and take the wrong direction,” he added.

“There is a commonality between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan (on the issue of fighting extremism),” he said.

“Modernization in Saudi Arabia is weaning people away from extremism and giving them opportunities to work for a better living. These goals are very similar to those of Pakistan.”

Alvi said as part of Vision 2030, the Kingdom needs to diversify its economy. “This needs good places for investment. Pakistan fits in exactly,” he said, adding that both countries are pursuing similar policies in terms of openness.
