Atlanta experience can inspire young people to great things
All most people want for their children is for them to be happy and fulfilled, with careers that match their interests and aspirations.But what if their talents mean they have the potential to make the world a better place for everyone?I’m more confident than ever that we have the building blocks in place to allow our young to help shape the future of Saudi Arabia positively.There could have been no greater illustration of this than the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).It took place in Atlanta in the United States of America recently, with our students taking a record 22 prizes, which included 16 grand awards and six special awards.We should take great pride in this success on a global stage.It is evidence that our education vision and the way we are nurturing the...

Saudis vis-à-vis people's worries about the future of their nations

Saudi Arabia and the Arab world… Is it a long way to go?
The ambassador of Saudi Arabia and his fellow ambassadors from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states have returned to Beirut, culminating a breakthrough in the long crisis that strained the relations between the two sides. It is well known that the cause for the crisis is the Iranian interference through its local agent, Hezbollah, in the Lebanese diplomacy as well as in the Gulf and Arab files.We have had never resorted to weakening our ties with Lebanon and that was happened only after persistent provocations that amounted to a direct threat launched by Hezbollah militias against us. Rather, this threat went beyond the limit of words to the practical involvement in terms of the Houthi aggression that targeted civilian neighborhoods and vital economic facilities in the Kingdom.Saudi...

Saudi Arabia and the Arab world… Is it a long way to go?

Arab YouTubers
YouTube gave us the opportunity to peek and eavesdrop to learn about the negative thoughts and feelings of some people in our Arab region outside the Arabian Peninsula towards Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.It is certain that these negative feelings are a modern phenomenon that did not exist in the previous centuries and that only a few people are proponents of this and the majority of our Arab brothers have nothing to do with their words and deeds.There is no doubt that the exhausted political ideologies played an active role in raising the pace of this discourse that I am talking about here, but these ideologies are not entirely responsible for this phenomenon as much as they worked to awaken the feelings buried deep in the subconscious and made them float...

World must bear the responsibility for securing energy sources
By Kamel AlkhattiSeveral vital installations in Saudi Arabia were subjected to Houthi attacks with missiles and drones on Friday, March 25, 2022. This is not the first time and will not be the last if the global community does not bear the responsibility for securing energy sources.The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership and people, know how to deal with these attacks on every level, but energy, which is the most sensitive commodity to hostile movements, does not belong to the Kingdom alone. Rather, every country in the world that imports energy is directly affected by any shortage in supplies.The increase in the dose of Houthi insolence is a result of the American rush toward the completion of the nuclear deal, even if this requires the United States and some of its European allies to...

Remote dialogue about the death penalty
On Saturday, March 12, 2022, the Ministry of Interior issued a statement with regard to carrying out death penalties for a number of people after they were convicted of serious terrorist crimes. Subsequently, many reactions came protesting these executions and the reactions varied in accordance with the motives of those reacted.Some of these reactions were false and baseless allegations and claims that are intended only to offend the Kingdom, as well as its leaders and judiciary. Knowing the source of these reactions was sufficient to come to a conclusion about their invalidity as they are issued by entities and people who are known for their hostility toward the Kingdom. These people or those who push them from behind the curtain have their own political and ideological agendas. Their...

Historical projections on the reality of Ukraine and its president
There was no threat of a World War III though Russia invaded Ukraine recently.The world was on the brink of an outbreak of World War III in 1962 when the then Soviet President Khrushchev agreed with Cuban President Fidel Castro to deploy Soviet nuclear missile launchers on the territory of Cuba, and the deployment was actually made. It was at that time US President John F. Kennedy threatened his Soviet counterpart that if the Soviet Union did not withdraw the missile launchers and cancel the planned deployment of more launchers, the US Army would be ordered to launch a strike on them, and it would be - as Kennedy threatened - World War III!After this ultimatum, Khrushchev agreed to completely withdraw the missile launchers from Cuba. Only a few people know that Khrushchev’s approval was...

We have an exciting future that women will help to shape
Many countries mark International Women’s Day by celebrating achievements and raising awareness of bias.In modern Saudi Arabia, I think we can go much further on this special day.Instead of being content with how far we have come in a short time, we can look to a bright future full of excitement.For us, International Women’s Day should be a day of charting our rise towards a truly equal society, where women can help lead the way.Therefore, it should be about ambition as much as it should be about celebration.Life has changed and very quickly, if you think that in 2018, women were allowed to drive for the first time.A year later, a decree meant a male’s permission was no longer needed to get a passport, to travel, go to university or go out with friends.This was obviously life...

Looking ahead at science and technology in 2022 and beyond
Coming into 2022, the focus of science and technology (S&T) has sharpened with fresh urgency: Our climate is undergoing steep changes; an energy transition is in the offing; the world is increasingly hungry and thirsty, and we are failing our SDG goals; we are in the midst of a digital revolution; and present and future pandemics presents serious threats to name just a few.This shines a welcome light on our core business at KAUST. We are coming of age at an ideal time to support the Kingdom’s aspirations directly and to help train its S&T workforce to face these challenges. Indeed, science is a core enabler for Vision 2030.Beyond being the president of KAUST, I also serve on boards and advisory committees of many change-making organizations in the Kingdom such as the FII Institute, the...
