The Arabian way: Rethinking power through peace and partnership

“My preference will always be for peace and partnership,” US President Donald Trump affirmed in Riyadh during the first foreign visit of his second term in office.The US president was addressing a distinguished audience of the US-Saudi Investment Forum, headed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.In his 48-minute-long speech, Trump celebrated Saudi Arabia’s strides toward progress, crediting its leadership and people for driving change from within: “It’s crucial for the wider world to know this great transformation did not come from Western intervention... You achieved a modern miracle the Arabian way. That’s a good way.”Those remarks were not just congratulatory of Saudi Arabia’s major achievements in recent years, but an assertion of the shift in US foreign policy...

The decision comes from Riyadh… and the world responds

When a U.S. president of Donald Trump’s stature speaks about an Arab leader, it is not diplomatic flattery—it is a rare commendation reserved for those who transcend local influence to shape global decision-making. And when that leader is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, we are witnessing a moment where Riyadh is not merely shifting its position—but reshaping the global landscape.“Mohammed bin Salman is wise, unmatched, hard working—I don’t think he even sleeps,” Trump remarked. These were not idle compliments, but a declaration—one capital of power acknowledging another. His words were born not of courtesy, but of experience: the rise of a leader molding his nation around the standards of the future rather than the traditions of the past.Today, the Crown Prince is more...

Trump’s Riyadh visit signals strategic recalibration

In a move that transcends diplomatic protocol, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to arrive in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, marking his first foreign trip since returning to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term. The announcement by the White House has drawn global attention, given the timing, symbolism, and underlying strategic motives.Unlike traditional state visits driven by ceremonial optics or domestic political gain, this visit unfolds in a context where Trump is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. As such, it carries no electoral weight, only the hallmarks of a broader geopolitical strategy. It reflects an administration seeking to re-anchor the U.S. role in global affairs through economic tools and reinvigorated partnerships, particularly with key Gulf...

Trump’s Riyadh visit signals strategic recalibration

Trump to Riyadh: A monumental moment that matters

The visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to Riyadh—his first official foreign stop since inauguration of his second tenure in presidency on January 20, and just as it was in 2017 during his first presidency — marks another era in the long-standing strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and the United States. This visit signals the continuation of a relationship that has evolved with ever-deepening cooperation and coordination across multiple fronts since several decades.This is not just a visit — it is a moment laden with significance. It comes at a time when the region is in the grip of volatility and unrest. Expectations are high ahead of next week’s most anticipated trilateral Gulf tour, during which Trump has promised what he described as a "very important...

From his own resources… Luminous lessons in leadership and humanity

In an era where words often outweigh actions, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman presents a fresh and living lesson in genuine leadership and humanity. The Crown Prince’s unprecedented and generous donation of one billion Saudi riyals (approximately 267 million US dollars) from his personal funds to the National Developmental Housing Foundation (Sakan), through the “Jood Eskan” initiative, reflects a profound commitment to serving the citizens.Yet, the true beauty of this act lies not merely in its extraordinary value, but in the deep messages it conveys — messages deserving of thoughtful reflection and admiration.First: A generous donation... Opening the widest doors of givingFor a nation’s leader to make a donation of this scale from personal wealth speaks not only of...

Europe’s bid to stand alone

In recent weeks, European nations have been grappling with a shifting geopolitical reality: the United States, under President Donald Trump’s influence and perhaps again in the near future, appears increasingly insistent that Europe should manage its own fate and shoulder the consequences of its choices. This stance is hardly surprising—Trump has long expressed frustration over what he perceives as America’s disproportionate burden in defending a continent unwilling to invest adequately in its own security.At the same time, as European leaders champion their support for Ukraine and call for strategic autonomy, it is as though the continent is telling itself, in that familiar, world-weary voice: “Let me be.”Should this divergence continue over the next four years, it will reshape...

Where learning takes root and sustainability grows

Saudi Arabia’s natural landscape is rich, diverse, and defined by its distinct character. From its mountain ranges and expansive deserts to fertile valleys, highlands, lakes, and coastlines, every region reveals a unique ecological identity shaped by geography and time. This environmental wealth holds enduring value as a national asset, calling for preservation, restoration, and stewardship for generations to come. The Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) stands as a bold national step toward a more sustainable future. With an ambition to rehabilitate over 74 million hectares of land, it reimagines the balance between progress and environmental responsibility. And behind every transformation, there is always a driving force — education that inspires, awareness that empowers, and engagement...

The season has begun — and one comment shook us all

By Sara Von Kienegger Did Helmut Marko, the so-called “Doctor of Motorsport,” really say he’s concerned about Max Verstappen’s future? And now we’re hearing whispers of a possible sabbatical? By the age of 27, Verstappen had already secured four world championships. He claimed his first in 2021—edging out seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in a now-iconic season—and went on to dominate the sport through 2024, winning title after title with unwavering consistency. For me, Formula 1 isn’t just a sport—it’s part of my upbringing. Growing up in Austria, the sound of burning rubber on asphalt was a familiar soundtrack each spring. When the season started, windows flew open, fresh air filled the farmhouse, and families gathered around the TV. The men watched intently, the...

Towards Green HR Policies in Saudi companies

By Dr. Nawaf Alhusseini In different capacities, Saudi companies have embraced green initiatives to support environmental protection. Examples abound of manufacturing companies using emission control technologies, banks providing favorable terms for green loans, and businesses using energy more efficiently, reducing printed material, and managing waste more effectively. And there is a surge in sustainability reporting among the larger companies in response to the Capital Market Authority 2021 guidelines to promote ESG reporting (Environmental, Social and Governance), and ESG committees are being formed. With all such efforts it can be said that the Saudi corporate landscape has responded well to Vision 2030’s call for going green.Acknowledging these developments, one may ask if more can...

Eight years that changed Saudi Arabia

By Firas Ibrahim TrabulsiEight years ago, on the 26th of Ramadan, Saudis pledged allegiance to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, looking ahead to a future of renewal and transformation. Today, this anniversary is not merely a ceremonial occasion but a pivotal moment in the modern history of the Kingdom. Saudis celebrate this event because they have witnessed unprecedented changes — transformations that were not coincidental but rather the result of a clear vision and a leader who chose to confront challenges with boldness, wisdom, and determination.When Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman assumed his position, Saudi Arabia stood at the threshold of a new era that required decisive action — not just to manage the present but to reshape the future. From day one, hesitation was not an...
