About this listen
Mohammed bin Salman is once again dominating headlines, with the past few days bringing a flurry of high-level diplomacy, strategic phone calls, cabinet leadership, private travels, and a surge of news coverage from regional power centers. Yesterday, Saudi Press Agency and Asharq Al-Awsat reported that the Crown Prince received a phone call from Jordan’s King Abdullah II, with both leaders discussing the latest regional developments and exploring ways to intensify their countries' joint efforts for security and stability. Moments like these highlight Mohammed bin Salman’s ongoing role as a key actor in the Middle East’s tangled alliances and power balances, especially as wars and instability bubble in neighboring regions.
On the business front, the Prince presided over this week’s Cabinet session in Riyadh, personally chairing talks focused on expanding diplomatic and economic outreach — an activity confirmed by the Saudi Press Agency. In a subtle but significant nod to his international diplomatic drive, he sent a verbal message through Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Fahd to Morocco’s King, emphasizing the depth of Saudi-Moroccan relations and ambitions for closer ties — a move reported by Asharq Al-Awsat that observers say could foreshadow deeper economic or tourist-sector cooperation in the near future.
And for those following his more discreet movements, MoroccoBeat highlighted a private visit by the Crown Prince to Morocco, capturing attention in travel and VIP circles. Morocco World News added to the intrigue, noting his aircraft was tracked entering Moroccan airspace though no official confirmation was issued, feeding both curiosity and excitement among Morocco’s elite-watchers. While details remain unconfirmed, it’s another reminder of how MBS blends statecraft with soft power, using presence and appearance as a diplomatic tool.
Meanwhile, on the international news circuit, SAMAA TV and other major Pakistani outlets splashed that Mohammed bin Salman has been offering a dose of "good news" to Pakistan — specifically signals pointing to closer economic cooperation, possible workforce expansions, and fresh investments. For biographers and business-watchers alike, this could become a milestone in the long relationship between the two countries, particularly amid evolving South Asian economic challenges.
On social media, users and commentators have been circulating footage of his recent travels and diplomatic activities, especially speculating on the implications of his Morocco visit and the evolving Saudi–Pakistan relationship. No direct posts from his official profiles have emerged in the last 24 hours.
