President Yoon Wants to Help Saudi Prince with His Vision 2030 Project
Good luck trying to help diversify Saudi Arabia’s economy by 2030:
President Yoon Suk-yeol sent a letter to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday pledging close cooperation between the two countries following his visit to South Korea last week, his office said.
Yoon sent the letter in response to Prince Mohammed’s note thanking the president for his hospitality during his visit to Seoul last Thursday.
“The crown prince’s visit became an important milestone in taking the bilateral relationship one step farther,” Yoon wrote in his message, according to deputy presidential spokesperson Lee Jae-myoung.
“We will cooperate closely for the realization of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030,” he added, referring to the crown prince’s road map for moving the country away from an oil-centric economy.

Saudi Arabia is a Shiite-majority nation with a thin crust of Sunni royalty.
They are ferociously Islamic. If one is caught importing Bibles or other religious literature, the penalties are severe.
Similarly, the Quran specifically commands Muslims not to make friends with people of other religions and instead to dissemble and try to trick them to — in any way — gain an advantage for Islam.
They believe tbe eorld is divided between tbe Kingdom of Islam and the Kingdom of War.
You really cannot trust them any further than you can trust the communists, for both want to distroy all systems outside their own.
Yoon may think he can create a short-term financial advantage for Korea; but at what cost to ordinary citizens.
Time will tell.
setnaffa, without the Saudis supporting your Petro-US-dollar, your country wouldn’t be able to print money like there’s no tomorrow. Because it would be worthless.
Dear Comrade Setnaffoving is jealous that Korea is in good terms with the Saudis unlike the United States, which has become Public Enemy No.1 in Saudi Arabia.
Saudis are clearly joking when they tell other countries they are going to move away from an oil-based economy… as they have been doing since the 70s.
(Doing the talking, not the moving.)
It probably has something to do with getting the Greentards to look elsewhere… like China paying American lobbiests to push for more carbon reduction while China builds new coal power plants.
So what is the plan?
Things like…
Tourism… the line is probably forming now.
Entertainment… relaxing the 35 year ban on new movie theaters and letting a foreign company run the first new theater sound like a profitable start.
More women’s rights… not sure what the plan to monetize a woman showing her nose is… but probably the right thing to do.
Bullet manufacturing… who can’t use more bullets?
What’s missing?
Anything that will substitute for the oil income.
Why are we even talking about this.
Fantasy.
