These developments are part of a broader strategy to position the Kingdom as a hub for regional and international organizations, reflecting its commitment to enhancing governance and compliance frameworks. The meeting concluded with decisions aimed at sustaining momentum in government performance and ensuring alignment with Vision 2030 goals.
