Mohammed bin Salman receives scholars and citizens in Medina | Details of the visit
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received in Madinah a group of distinguished scholars, ministers, and crowds of citizens who came to greet him, in a scene that embodies the deep cohesion and close bond between the wise leadership and its loyal people.
This warm reception comes as part of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's visit to Madinah, reflecting the Saudi leadership's ongoing commitment to direct engagement with citizens, understanding their needs, and meeting with leading figures in the scientific and social spheres. His Royal Highness exchanged friendly conversation with those present, praying to God Almighty to perpetuate the blessings of security, safety, and stability upon the Kingdom under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Leadership approach and open-door policy
These meetings are an extension of a long-standing historical approach established by the founding King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud – may God have mercy on him – and followed by his sons, the kings after him, embodied in the policy of "open doors." The rulers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are keen to allocate regular times to receive citizens, scholars, and officials, which strengthens the internal front and affirms that the relationship between the ruler and the ruled in the Kingdom is a paternal and fraternal one based on love and loyalty.
Medina is at the heart of the Vision's priorities
The Crown Prince's visit to Madinah is of particular importance, given the great religious significance that the blessed city holds in the hearts of Muslims worldwide. These visits typically coincide with His Highness's oversight of the major development projects underway in the region, which are central to the objectives of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. This vision places great emphasis on developing the Two Holy Mosques and the holy sites, and enhancing the services provided to pilgrims, Umrah performers, and visitors.
Comprehensive development and a promising future
During the reign of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Crown Prince, Madinah is witnessing an unprecedented urban and developmental renaissance, including projects to expand the Prophet's Mosque and develop the surrounding areas, in addition to advanced infrastructure projects such as the "Madinah Vision" project, which aims to increase the capacity to facilitate hosting 30 million Umrah pilgrims by 2030. His Highness's reception of scholars and citizens in these holy places carries profound implications, confirming that urban and economic development goes hand in hand with preserving the Islamic identity and authentic social values of the Kingdom.
