Saudi Arabia Ranks 1st Globally in Government Trust & Future Outlook in Edelman Trust Barometer 2025

Saudi Arabia Ranks 1st Globally in Government Trust & Future Outlook in Edelman Trust Barometer 2025

The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer ranks Saudi Arabia as the most trusted government worldwide, with a remarkable 87% trust rate, reflecting the nation’s continued leadership in global trust indicators.

This achievement underscores the success of Vision 2030 in strengthening institutional stability and governance, making Saudi Arabia a global benchmark for public trust, SPA reported.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia ranked first globally in future outlook, with 69% of citizens believing the next generation will be better off.

This optimistic perspective starkly contrasts with less than 50% in most other countries, showcasing the positive societal impact of Vision 2030 and the nation’s commitment to sustainable development.
In addition to maintaining its leading global position, Saudi Arabia outperformed several countries in trust indicators, including the United States (47%), the United Kingdom (43%), and Germany (41%).

Bahrain is hosting on Wednesday the 167th Ministerial Council meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to discuss regional and international developments.

It will be held under the chairmanship of Bahrain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and current President of the Ministerial Council Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, with the participation of GCC foreign ministers.

The third joint ministerial meeting of the GCC-Canada Strategic Dialogue will also be held on the sidelines. Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand is expected to attend.

GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi said the ministerial council will review reports on the implementation of decisions issued by the GCC Supreme Council's 46th summit, held in Manama in December 2025.

The council will discuss memoranda and reports submitted by ministerial and technical committees and the General Secretariat, as well as matters related to strategic dialogues and relations between GCC member states and international countries and blocs.

Albudaiwi said the third joint GCC-Canada Strategic Dialogue Ministerial Meeting will tackle several issues, including ways to deepen cooperation between the GCC and Canada through the Joint Action Plan for 2025-2029.

The plan outlines priorities and mechanisms to strengthen cooperation in political and security affairs, trade and investment, energy, education, health, and other vital fields.
