The newspapers further said that the "Shareek" program, HRH the Crown Prince inaugurated recently, will support and enable local companies to unlock new local investments valued at SAR 5 Trillion, which will provide 1.8 million jobs.

In another context, Al-Yaum newspaper reported in its editorial that the Kingdom's initiative to end the Yemeni crisis and reach a comprehensive political resolution based on the three references, comes in continuation of the Kingdom's concern for the security and stability of Yemen and the region. The initiative also aims to end the human suffering of the brotherly Yemeni people, and affirms the Kingdom's support for efforts to reach a comprehensive political resolution between the Yemeni parties, the newspaper added. Saudi Arabia exerts all efforts to establish peace in the region and the world. If the international community seeks to promote peace and stability in the region, it must support the efforts and initiatives of the Kingdom and put an end to the suspicious Iranian behavior and regimes that support terrorism and seek to destroy the world, the paper concluded.
