The Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Foundation (Misk) held on Wednesday the Misk Talk global initiative in London, where 12 young Saudis studying in London took the stage to present their ideas for achieving Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals.

“Our role is to provide the opportunity for the Saudi talent to share knowledge in all fields and with the world,” said Mohammed Marwan Abu Azza, Executive Director of Marketing and Communication at Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Foundation.

“The stories of truth and knowledge have been presented, as a summary of a practical and professional experience of young men and women,” he added.

In their presentations, young Saudi students addressed a variety of topics on several tracks, including health and scientific research in the areas of obesity, cancer and stroke, overcoming mental health problems, technology solutions for future cities, nanotechnology for emerging memory devices, as well as entrepreneurship in several areas.

Misk is a non-profit organization that aims to empower youth to become active participants in Saudi Arabia’s developing knowledge economy, focusing on four key areas, including education, creative and digital media, technology, culture and arts.

The Foundation seeks to achieve these objectives through its initiatives and strategic partnerships with the leaders of public and private sectors around the world.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
