About this listen
Mohammed bin Salman has been at the center of several major developments over the past few days, each illustrating his growing influence on the global stage and the strategic direction of Saudi Arabia. On Tuesday in Riyadh, the Crown Prince chaired a pivotal cabinet session that welcomed the US President’s newly announced comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza. This meeting was not simply ceremonial—the ministers reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's readiness to implement a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and work with the US to advance a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. Additionally, the cabinet highlighted the Kingdom’s success in pressing more countries to officially recognize the State of Palestine, showcasing Riyadh’s impactful diplomatic engagement. There was also significant praise for the recent visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, which culminated in the signing of a Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement, strengthening defense collaboration between the two countries—all confirmed by Asharq Al-Awsat and Arab News PK.
Publicly, Mohammed bin Salman has remained visible, personally receiving the credentials of ambassadors from a record number of countries at Al-Yamamah Palace, a gesture that underscores Saudi Arabia's expanding diplomatic appeal. Ambassadors from the EU, Belgium, Germany, Iran, China, France, Italy, and more were welcomed as new envoys to the Kingdom, further deepening international relations and reflecting Riyadh’s rising global profile—as reported by Arab News.
Business activity reached a new peak in Riyadh this week under his patronage at the launch of the first-ever Cultural Investment Conference, held at the King Fahd Cultural Center. The event assembled more than 100 experts and 1,500 participants, including global cultural leaders from Sotheby's, Christie's, Sony Pictures, and Art Basel. The conference aims to position culture as a major economic engine for Saudi Arabia, fitting squarely within the ambitions of Vision 2030. Participants and speakers emphasized the role of culture in job creation, sustainable development, and economic diversification, demonstrating the Kingdom’s intent to broaden its international influence through cultural diplomacy and creative industry investment. This was highlighted by both the Ministry of Culture and ICESCO, who praised the conference’s impact and the historic transformation of Saudi cultural policy.
On social media, the Ministry of Culture’s official accounts shared highlights from the conference and celebrated Saudi Arabia’s selection for hosting the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development—a direct link to Mohammed bin Salman’s efforts to promote the kingdom as a hub for creativity, modernization, and inclusion.
On the world stage, strategic defense, diplomacy, and cultural policy have dominated the headlines, with Mohammed bin Salman’s cabinet acts and high-profile appearances marking potential long-term shifts in the kingdom’s global standing.
