Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas. Al-Youm and Al-Riyadh newspapers commented on the tour of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Vice President of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of Defense to Egypt and the United Kingdom, saying that the tour comes in the context of strengthening Arab and international relations for common interests, pointing out that the Kingdom is a political, economic, Arab, Islamic and international power, and the countries of the world are interested in closer relations with it at various levels. The papers indicated that HRH Crown Prince's visit to the United Kingdom will focus on economic issues, especially as London hopes for economic benefits from the reforms initiated by HRH Crown Prince in the framework of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" aiming at diversifying the Saudi economy after it has been largely depending on oil, citing the Spokesman of the British Prime Minister as saying that HRH Crown Prince's visit will launch a new phase in our bilateral relations focusing on a partnership of great benefits to both our countries, including providing British jobs and preserving others. The papers noted that during HRH Crown Prince's visit, they review Saudi Aramco's offering part of its shares in the stock exchange market in the second half of 2018, stressing that HRH Crown Prince's tour will certainly produce results very important for all parties and further strengthen relations for their mutual interests.
