Saudi Arabia will now grant citizenship to skilled professionals, including scientists, doctors, researchers, and businessmen, as part of its Vision 2030 initiative. This new policy, directed by King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, aims to attract top talent to support the country’s development.
The initiative is designed to diversify the economy beyond oil and transform Saudi Arabia into a global investment hub. It is expected to boost progress in various sectors like health, culture, sports, and innovation.
The move has received positive feedback from both the international community and within Saudi Arabia. Experts believe it will enhance the kingdom’s global position in innovation and development. Dr. Ahmad Al-Faridi praised the decision as a step toward recognizing the value of human capital.
