The first two days of US President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia were filled with goodwill on both sides – not mere talk, but fructified with a series of high-value agreements. Saudi Arabia demonstrated its commitment to pursue world peace under any circumstances. During the Saudi-US bilateral summit, the Kingdom extracted huge gains, putting the Saudi Vision at the heart of the talks. The two leaders shared their common interests focused on the strategic visions of their respective countries. This commonality of interests was the basic ingredient in the success of the bilateral discussions. The investment agreements worth nearly U$290 billion place the Saudi Vision in a strong position. They will support the transfer of knowledge and the localization of technology. They will also create large number of job opportunities for Saudi youth, male and female. Arms agreements were signed with leading American weapons manufacturers, reputed to be the most efficient in the world. Agreements were also signed in the areas of technology, power generation, and manufacturing, besides technology and infrastructure investments. Petrochemicals got a boost as well with new investment agreements. The primary focus here was undoubtedly to create more jobs for Saudi youth, as aspired in the Saudi Vision. The two sides also agreed to enhance their level of security and economic cooperation. The new collaborative approach on economic issues is expected to make the Kingdom among the top trading partners with the US. The agreements reflected Saudi Arabia's attention to local issues, which included developing the service and industrial sectors, taking up advanced projects, and moving towards transfer of knowledge from the top market in the world. Attracting foreign investments will eventually strengthen local markets and open new career opportunities. The Kingdom's message to the world was that it was open to development opportunities through fruitful partnerships for its future good. It established once again that the US remains a key partner in the Kingdom's pursuit to achieve economic wellbeing for the ultimate benefit of its citizens.
