Saudi Arabia is set to launch a plan on Sunday designed to complete the pending and upcoming infrastructure and service projects in southwestern Asir region.

“Under the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, His Royal Highness Prince Turki bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Asir Region, will patronize the plan to complete the basic projects in Asir region. He will be joined by Saudi Health Minister Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, Acting Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs Dr. Majid bin Abdullah al-Qasabi and Minister of Transport Dr. Nabil bin Mohammed al-Amoudi,” an official statement said.

The ministers will announce the plan for completion of pending projects which signal an important milestone for the region's people. Projects include health, transport and public sectors in service of not the region alone, but the Kingdom as a whole.

The projects will also contribute to the expansion of the infrastructure and services needed by the region. They are also part and parcel of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and efforts to diversify its economy while expanding on tourism and reaching untapped resources in the Kingdom’s many regions.

“These projects represent an important step forward for the region's sons and daughters who have long been looking forward to it. The diversity of the projects represent the health, transportation and municipalities sectors within a large system of projects, not only in the region but at a Kingdom-wide level,” the statement added.
