The future of aviation sector in Saudi Arabia
By Asim AbdulfattahThe aviation sector in Saudi Arabia is witnessing an exponential growth associated with several changes in the infrastructure, starting with the ultimate goal of localizing all aviation related jobs, developing airports, and creating national airlines.The movement of localizing jobs is being administered by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). In January 2021, GACA launched the initiative to empower the Saudi aviation sector by localizing 10,000 jobs.This approach serves the aspirations of Vision 2030 and opens doors for qualified Saudis to work in the field. In response to localization, Saudi Arabian Airlines has recently announced that all its first-officer pilots are Saudis and other carriers are on the same path.Another major development is the expansion...

Saudi Arabia a place to live like no other
By Bruno HardeggerOn the occasion of three centuries of time for the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the unification of its lands and raising its flag with a flapper, I would like to thank the Saudi leadership and people for the wonderful experience in the Kingdom.And the transformation that it witnessed over the decades of elevation, stability and development. Especially during the era of King Salman, may God protect him, and his faithful Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the architect of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the owner of the great transformation, placing the name of our beloved Kingdom in the ranks of the great powers and a number that no one in the East or the West can surpass.I have been blessed with the opportunity to work and live in the Kingdom of Saudi...

On course for clean and green
The PIF Saudi International golf tournament got into full swing in early February, and professional golfers impressed fans and newcomers to the sport alike with their top-scoring skills. As the sport gains traction with residents, and new golf facilities are developed across the Kingdom, the question is raised — where will the water come from to maintain the courses? After all, the game requires big tracts of land and lots of water to keep the grass green. The good news is there are sustainable solutions, and one is under your feet.Saudi Arabia is investing in innovative wastewater treatment technologies to provide clean water for non-potable reuse applications such as horticulture, industry and irrigation, including water for lawns and golf courses. The Kingdom’s goal is to achieve...

The West burns copies of the Holy Qur’an...why?
Marking the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union tweeted: “Today we commemorate the victims of the Jewish Holocaust. The European Union and the Swedish Presidency stand firmly against anti-Semitism, racism and all other forms of intolerance.”However, when an extremist Swede burned a copy of the Holy Qur’an in Stockholm, with the connivance and protection of the police, the Swedish government’s firmness against anti-racism was limited to a tweet by its foreign minister on Jan. 21, saying: “The anti-Islamic provocations are appalling. Sweden enjoys great freedom of expression, but it does not mean that the Swedish government or personally, we support the opinions expressed.”The argument of freedom of...

More than an agreement
One way that KAUST comes into partnership with different entities, be they businesses, educational institutions or governmental agencies, is through what are called Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) — agreements that communicate the mutual intentions and goals of both parties that lead to further actions.KAUST has signed many MoUs with high profile organizations in Saudi Arabia as well as external partners throughout the course of the past year. You might have read about these agreements in various news articles and press releases, but you might not appreciate their value, and what they mean for the Kingdom.MoUs are about beginnings in that they pave the way for new developments, but there’s far more to the story. In many respects, they represent a cumulation of involvement.For...

Humanity’s challenges can be solved by acting together
Today, India commences its G20 Presidency.The previous 17 Presidencies of the G20 delivered significant results - for ensuring macro-economic stability, rationalising international taxation, relieving debt-burden on countries, among many other outcomes. We will benefit from these achievements, and build further upon them.However, as India assumes this important mantle, I ask myself - can the G20 go further still? Can we catalyse a fundamental mindset shift, to benefit humanity as a whole? I believe we can.Our mindsets are shaped by our circumstances. Through all of history, humanity lived in scarcity. We fought for limited resources, because our survival depended on denying them to others. Confrontation and competition - between ideas, ideologies and identities - became the...

Dr. Jamil Aldandany
A Saudi-phobic West
Few societies in the West unite liberals and conservatives like Saudi Arabia. We Saudis often are described as extreme and xenophobic. While it is true that such people do exist in Saudi Arabia like in almost every society, they are now marginalized and have little impact, if any, on public life. Unfortunately, the people who fit the same description in Western countries are rehabilitated and have become mainstream, participate in elections, and some even sit in parliaments where racist statements and extreme positions are voiced and seldom condemned.It seems to me that Saudi Arabia's pretrial of its government, people and culture is less the result of disagreement over specific issues such as energy policy or diplomatic differences than an inherent and irrational Saudi-phobia rampant...

America and the policy of intimidation
By Youssef bin Trad Al-SaadounIn 1995, Hollywood released a movie titled: “The American President.” In the closing speech scene of the movie, the president is attacking one of his opponents, saying: “The only thing he is good at doing is intimidating something, and then finding someone to blame for that matter, and this is how you win the election.”This behavior represents the approach that some American politicians in Washington are currently following on the ground. These politicians are addicted to blaming others for the problems and mistakes they commit. Evidence for this in the modern American administration is numerous. They include the following:• The White House issued a statement on October 5, 2022, stating that “the US president is disappointed by the short-sighted...

Inflation worries
Inflation continues to remain on top of the list of issues of global concern over the past 13 months. In fact, the level of concern about it increased during this year, featuring a significant jump. Inflation was followed in order by other issues of concern: poverty and social injustice, unemployment, crime and violence, financial and political corruption, health care, and taxes.The monthly survey, titled ‘What Worries the World,’ released by Ipsos International, explores what the public thinks are the most important social and political issues across 28 countries in various continents of the world, including Saudi Arabia.The survey showed that two out of three people believe that the economic situation is bad in their countries and that their countries are going in the wrong...
