Its real wealth, however, lies in the abilities and potential of the nation's society. Saudi Arabia is an exceptional nation due to its Islamic faith, national identity, culture and heritage. A vibrant society will be the foundation of Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision. A society whose members enjoy a fulfilling and secure life in an attractive and sustainable environment, and are empowered by social and health care systems that ensure their physical, psychological, and social well-being. The Saudi society is defined by its adherence to Islamic values and its family orientation. It is essential, therefore, to support and empower families so that they can develop their children's talents and character, and have an active role in their education. The Saudi nation cherishes the honor bestowed upon the Kingdom to welcome and serve an increasing number of pilgrims and visitors every year. The expansion of the Two Holy Mosques and the upgrading of services and facilities had helped to cater for 15 million visitors from its development until 2020. These improvements will continue to ensure that all pilgrims are well looked after when they visit. Culture and entertainment are an integral part of a fulfilling life. To this effect, projects will be launched to establish libraries, galleries, and museums and provide different types of entertainment. A thriving economy offers equal opportunities for all citizens through an updated, high quality educational system aligned with the employment needs of a dynamic market. Access to economic and employment opportunities will be available for entrepreneurs, small and large enterprises. The Kingdom's diversified economy and streamlined business services will attract new talent and investments. Saudi Arabia's strategic position will make it the logistical hub connecting Europe, Africa, and Asia. Investment capabilities will be maximized through the ongoing privatization of state owned assets and agencies. New sectors will enrich national economy. Telecommunications and information technology, including high-speed broadband, will be developed in and around cities and rural areas. An effective, transparent, responsible, accountable, enabling, and high-performing government is a fundamental prerequisite for an ambitious nation. In view of this, all the necessary steps will be taken to ensure that relevant services and regulations are in place to foster the ongoing growth and development of the private and non-profit sectors. Our goals and commitments include programs that will contribute to the effective restructuring of government agencies, fiscal management, regulations, and performance management programs.* Adapted from the text of the Vision Programs at https://vision2030.gov.sa/en and from the text that was drafted by the Council of Economic and Development Affairs as instructed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
