Vision 2030 Overview · Page 6

tougher circumstances than today, our nation was 
forged by collective determination when the late King 
Abdulaziz Al-Saud – may Allah bless his soul – united 
the Kingdom. Our people will amaze the world again. 
We are confident about the Kingdom’s future. With all 
the blessings Allah has bestowed on our nation, we 
cannot help but be optimistic about the decades 
ahead. We ponder what lies over the horizon rather 
than worrying about what could be lost. 
The future of the Kingdom, my dear brothers and 
sisters, is one of huge promise and great potential, God 
willing. Our precious country deserves the best. 
Therefore, we will expand and further develop our 
talents and capacity. We will do our utmost to ensure 
that Muslims from around the world can visit the Holy 
Sites. 
We are determined to reinforce and diversify the 
capabilities of our economy, turning our key strengths 
into enabling tools for a fully diversified future. As such, 
we will transform Aramco from an oil producing 
company into a global industrial conglomerate. We will 
transform the Public Investment Fund into the world’s 
largest sovereign wealth fund. We will encourage our 
major corporations to expand across borders and take 
their rightful place in global markets. As we continue to 
give our army the best possible machinery and 
equipment, we plan to manufacture half of our military 
needs within the Kingdom to create more job 
opportunities for citizens and keep more resources in 
our country. 
We will expand the variety of digital services to reduce 
delays and cut tedious bureaucracy. We will immediately 
adopt wide-ranging transparency and accountability 
reforms and, through the body set up to measure the 
performance of government agencies, hold them 
accountable for any shortcomings. We will be 
transparent and open about our failures as well as our 
successes, and will welcome ideas on how to improve. 
All this comes from the directive of the Custodian of the 
Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 
may Allah protect him, who ordered us to plan for a 
future that fulfills your ambitions and your aspirations. 
In line with his instructions, we will work tirelessly from 
today to build a better tomorrow for you, your children, 
and your children’s children. 
Our ambition is for the long term. It goes beyond 
replenishing sources of income that have weakened or 
preserving what we have already achieved. We are 
determined to build a thriving country in which all 
citizens can fulfill their dreams, hopes and ambitions. 
Therefore, we will not rest until our nation is a leader in 
providing opportunities for all through education and 
training, and high quality services such as employment 
initiatives, health, housing, and entertainment.
We commit ourselves to providing world-class 
government services which effectively and efficiently 
meet the needs of our citizens. Together we will 
continue building a better country, fulfilling our dream 
of prosperity and unlocking the talent, potential, and 
dedication of our young men and women. We will not 
allow our country ever to be at the mercy of a 
commodity price volatility or external markets. 
We have all the means to achieve our dreams and 
ambitions. There are no excuses for us to stand still or 
move backwards. 
Our Vision is a strong, thriving, and stable Saudi Arabia 
that provides opportunity for all. Our Vision is a tolerant 
country with Islam as its constitution and moderation
