The ever charismatic Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was met with an uproar of people who wanted selfies, a handshake or greetings at the ‘Davos in the Desert’ conference in Riyadh this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event was a sort of launch party for Saudi Arabia, with MBS’ charm that was to gather bankers and investors to be interested in his many visions for the Kingdom.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Davos in the desert was a conference that sought to ‘woo’ bankers and investors to revamp the oil dependence of the Kingdom and modernise it\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Vision 2030\u00a0<\/a>is well under way and the 32-year-old Crown Prince did not hold back at the event, when talking about his prospective plans for the Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Riyadh unveiled plans worth approximately US$500 Billion investment zone in the north-western coastal area, and a US $1 BILLION investment in Virgin Galactic. The Crown Prince’s statements made headlines for promising optimism for the Kingdom and a restoration to a Saudi that is more tolerant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, we won\u2019t waste 30 years of our life dealing with any extremist ideas,\u201d Prince Mohammed told the conference.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
