The Saudi government said on Tuesday that the high-level international attendance at the ninth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference reflects global appreciation for the Kingdom's achievements and vision, cementing its status as a leading international economic destination and a global hub for leaders and innovators transforming visions into future-shaping investment strategies.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the cabinet meeting in Riyadh.
The Crown Prince briefed the cabinet on the outcomes of his meetings with leaders and government heads from several countries who visited the Kingdom for the FII conference that was held in Riyadh last week.
The cabinet commended the Saudi economy's ability to keep pace with global transformations with flexibility, resilience, and alignment of resources, capabilities, and national priorities, while continuing to drive growth in non-oil sectors like advanced manufacturing, technology, tourism, and entrepreneurship.
It hailed the private sector's remarkable contribution to driving the growth of non-oil activities since the launch of Vision 2030, reflecting the effectiveness of economic policies and reforms in enabling the business environment to flourish.
Moreover, the cabinet viewed the Kingdom's winning the presidency of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions for three years, starting in 2031, as confirmation of its global leadership in enhancing transparency and governance.
The cabinet also praised AlUla for winning three World Travel Awards for 2025, an achievement that embodies its continued excellence and growing prominence on the regional tourism map, showcasing its wealth of diverse historical, cultural, and civilizational assets.
