“With the latest technologies, we are steadily moving toward the future,” the ministry said in its official Twitter page on Wednesday.

The tweet was accompanied by an illustration highlighting the words of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, in which he said that Neom is the destination for the future.
