The state generously funded all basic projects through ambitious development plans, allowing private sector to contribute to the implementation of several development projects throughout the Kingdom." "We thank our brothers and friends who came from everywhere to contribute to the development and economic activity in the Kingdom, and to establish partnership through which the benefits are exchanged between all parties. However, this will not change the known fact that priority is given to citizens in terms of work opportunities, as the case in all countries of the world. I, therefore, call on all officials in the private sector in our beloved country to do their best to open wide horizons for the employment of Saudi men and women," Prince Naif said. --More
