Shoura Council chief: Saudi leadership prioritizes citizens in development decisions

Shoura Council Chairman Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al Sheikh extended his deepest gratitude to King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Prime Minister, following the King's directive—based on the Crown Prince's recommendation—to implement several measures supporting citizens. This comes alongside recent announcements by Saudi Energy Company and the National Water Company regarding adjustments to consumption tariffs. He emphasized that these directives reflect the leadership's strong commitment to citizens, following a longstanding approach that places people at the heart of development and its ultimate goal.

Al Sheikh highlighted that the royal directives include supportive measures for employees, retirees, families benefiting from social security, and Saudi workers in the private sector. He noted that these steps demonstrate the integration of economic and social aspects in development decisions, and reflect the leadership's dedication to meeting development needs and enhancing the quality of life for citizens.

The Shoura Council Chairman affirmed that the Kingdom's ongoing development decisions reflect a far-sighted vision, guiding Saudi Arabia toward a more prosperous and sustainable future in line with Vision 2030 goals. He prayed for the continued safety, stability, and prosperity of the Kingdom, and for the success of its leadership in serving the nation and its people.
