Amid rising geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, over 1,000 global leaders gathered in Riyadh for the World Economic Forum (WEF) Special Meeting to tackle pressing challenges like sustainable development and inclusive growth. 🌍 This marks the first time Saudi Arabia has hosted the event, spotlighting the Middle East’s growing role in shaping global solutions.
WEF President Borge Brende emphasized collaboration as the key to a secure and sustainable future: \"It is only by coming together we can chart a course toward stability.\" Saudi Minister of Economy Faisal Alibrahim echoed this, calling inclusive growth a \"categorical imperative\" driven by investments in education, skills, and well-being. 💡
The summit’s focus on people-centered policies and cross-border partnerships mirrors Gen-Z’s demand for systemic change. Think global teamwork meets TikTok activism—but with more suits and fewer dance moves. 🕺📈
