The Saudi Ministry of Media has unveiled the third edition of the Media Oasis in New Delhi from Sept. 9 to 11, 2023, coinciding with Saudi Arabia's participation in the G20 Leaders' Summit and the official visit of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to India.

The third edition is considered the first international edition of the Media Oasis to be held outside the Kingdom. It is a testament to Saudi Arabia's leading role in media, culture, and tourism and the significant transformation taking place in the country under Vision 2030.

The Media Oasis is one of the new initiatives launched by the Ministry of Media with the aim of redefining media coverage, utilizing modern technology to achieve more creativity and innovation in covering national events, major occasions, and Saudi Arabia's international engagements.

The Media Oasis, organized in strategic partnership with the NEOM, showcases more than 20 projects in 12 pavilions, presenting the achievements of major transformative projects in Saudi Arabia.

The Ministries of Energy, Sports, Investment, and Culture, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, the Red Sea Global, the Royal Institute for Traditional Arts, the Future Investment Initiative, and the Government Communication Center are participating in the Media Oasis.

The Oasis features interactive models of Saudi Arabia's major projects, using advanced technologies that allow visitors to explore these initiatives in a unique way.

Visitors can also engage directly with experts to get accurate information and answers to their questions, contributing to a precise understanding of the projects.

It is expected that the Oasis will be visited by more than 2,000 visitors, including officials participating in the G20 Summit, businessmen, and journalists from various countries worldwide and from India.

The Oasis is also hosting more than 50 media outlets and 200 media professionals who have come to cover the G20 Leaders' Summit in India from Sept. 9 to 11, 2023.

Through the Media Oasis, the Ministry aims to provide visitors with a comprehensive experience, allowing them to pass through all the sections of the Oasis, engaging their minds, senses, and emotions, making them feel as if they are visiting these projects and initiatives in person.

It is worth noting that this international edition of the Oasis is the third after two local editions.

The first was held in conjunction with the 32nd Arab Summit in Jeddah on May 18 and 19, 2023, and the second was held in conjunction with the Grand Annual Hajj Symposium from June 20 to 22, 2023.

Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak held on Wednesday two meetings in Riyadh: the first, with the new commander of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, revolved around military affairs, while the second focused on humanitarian efforts and priorities with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.

According to official Saudi sources, the Yemeni premier met with Lt. Gen. Fahd Al-Salman, Commander of the Joint Forces, with whom he discussed the ongoing coordination and continued support from the coalition countries, led by Saudi Arabia, to achieve security and stability for the Yemeni people and support the legitimate government.

Separately, a meeting was held at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center to review joint coordination in implementing programs and plans.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, Advisor to the Saudi Royal Court and General Supervisor of the center, emphasized the center's commitment to alleviating the suffering of the needy, displaced, and affected populations in Yemen, stressing that these efforts reflect Saudi Arabia's noble humanitarian mission, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince.

Bin Mubarak was also briefed on the total humanitarian aid provided by Saudi Arabia from 1996 to 2024, which has been extended to 171 countries at a value of over $132 billion, with $27 billion specifically allocated to Yemen. In 2014, Saudi Arabia’s official development aid amounted to 1.9% of its GDP, far exceeding the UN's target of 0.7%.

The meeting also highlighted the center’s efforts, which include 3,068 projects across 102 countries, valued at over $7 billion. Of these, 976 humanitarian projects were designated for Yemen, valued at over $4 billion, covering various key sectors. This includes 479 projects for women and 478 for children.
