How Washington's Harvest Was Achieved

The echoes of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington continue to resonate in global media. Observers know that there is no prominent media outlet that has not covered some aspect of the visit through news coverage, reports, or analysis, with a near consensus that the results achieved from the visit exceeded the expectations of some observers who believed that some files or demands brought by the visitor would not be easily and quickly addressed by President Trump, and that some of them might be withheld for a while to show that it is not easy for America to respond to all demands at once from any country. However, what happened was the exact opposite, as everything was accomplished easily, smoothly, and with great welcome from the American side, confirming the strategic relationship with the Kingdom and working to strengthen it, expand its fields, and elevate it to higher and more important levels.

There are many reasons for this significant and important achievement of the visit, the most important of which is that the demands and needs brought by the Crown Prince to Washington were carefully, accurately, and deeply studied to meet the requirements of a genuine and massive comprehensive development project in a reliable and stable country that respects its commitments and agreements and is solely concerned with continuing development and achieving prosperity, security, and stability for its people. A country characterized by balance and wisdom in its policies and relations, keen on its interests and those of its partners, and aware that development, stability, and prosperity require strength in various forms: the strength of knowledge and education, the strength of technology, and also the strength of arms to protect its achievements.

In recent years, since the beginning of the new comprehensive national vision project, the Kingdom has gained more confidence in its policies and directions among the world, both East and West. It has been able to establish important partnerships with all countries that have its needs in a balanced manner and equal distances with everyone. The world has also confirmed that it has become a significant and influential player in the equations of politics and economics through its prudent dealings with crises in its surroundings and beyond, and its relentless pursuit to resolve conflicts, wars, and crises and to establish peace, security, and stability. Therefore, the historical strategic ally, the United States, had to deal with the Kingdom according to the current data and the significant presence that the Kingdom has become as an attractive economic power and an effective political force in a safe and stable environment.

For these reasons and many others, America treated its visitor with the hospitality that befits him and dealt positively with his country's needs, as it is confident of achieving mutual interests with an important, reliable, and influential partner.
