Besides being the largest economy in the region and the world\u2019s largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia has one of the world\u2019s largest financial reserves through its sovereign fund and is implementing strategic program Vision 2030, which aims to achieve the goal of economic growth and diversification.<\/p>\n<p>The Arab country is engaged in the world agenda, including technologic innovation and sustainability, the women\u2019s issue, and sports. Saudis have made significant advances in putting women in the labor market, host a Formula 1 GP, raised visibility to its football league, will host the FIFA World Cup 2034 and the world exhibition Expo 2030, is part of G20 and hosted its summit in 2020, in addition to building high-end projects like a carbon-free city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still face many myths and misunderstandings, but I believe that \u2018difficult\u2019 just means something we don\u2019t know yet.
