His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at his office in Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh today. During the meeting, the two sides exchanged cordial greetings.
This meeting is part of the Crown Prince's ongoing engagements with influential global political and diplomatic figures, reflecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's pivotal role on the international stage. Such meetings are particularly significant given the deep historical and strategic ties between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, which span more than eight decades of joint cooperation across various political, economic, and security fields.
Hillary Clinton is a prominent figure in American and international politics, having served as Secretary of State in the administration of former President Barack Obama, as First Lady of the United States, as well as being a former presidential candidate and a former U.S. Senator. The Crown Prince's reception of such figures underscores the Kingdom's openness to all global political perspectives and its commitment to strengthening channels of dialogue and constructive communication.
This reception is also part of the active diplomatic movement taking place in Riyadh, as the Saudi capital has become a major destination for decision-makers and politicians from around the world, in light of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which aims not only for internal economic and social transformation, but also to enhance the Kingdom’s role as an active and influential force in making regional and international peace and stability.
This visit and cordial meeting underscore the enduring strength of the ties between the two friendly nations, regardless of changes in political administrations. Shared interests and common perspectives on regional and global issues remain the cornerstone of bilateral relations. Such cordial meetings with former senior officials typically include an exchange of views on regional and international developments and matters of mutual concern.
