Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional, and international arenas. Al-Riyadh and Okaz newspapers said in their editorials that the US study that ranked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the ninth most powerful country in the world in terms of political and financial influence reflects the Kingdom's steady and advanced steps towards global leadership in all fields. The newspapers said that the Kingdom's vision 2030, announced by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about two years ago, has succeeded in achieving many goals and ambitions. Al-Yaum newspaper commented in its editorial on UK's ban terror group Hezbollah, saying that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was one of the first countries to reveal the ideology of this terrorist group, and its involvement in more than a terrorist crime. The newspaper said that joining UK with Saudi Arabia and some of GCC states in classifying this militia group as a terrorist organization is very important step to block it.
