WASHINGTON — Saudi Ambassador to the United States Princess Reema Bint Bandar Bin Sultan affirmed that the Saudi Vision 2030 contributed to create more opportunities for women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, encouraging women throughout the Kingdom to take advantage of programs designed to enhance their skills in various economic sectors.
