Nadhmi Al-Nasr, chief executive officer of NEOM, on Monday called on Tabuk Gov. Prince Fahd bin Sultan. During the meeting, the governor said the NEOM project is the focus of the entire world. He said the project will boost the pace of development in the Kingdom.
It will help strengthen the country’s economy, Prince Fahd said.
NEOM will include towns and cities, ports and enterprise zones, research centers, sports and entertainment venues, and tourist destinations. It will be the home and workplace for more than a million citizens from around the world.
Al-Nasr thanked the Tabuk governor for extending support to the project since its launch.
Backed by the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund, NEOM will operate as an independent economic zone powered solely by regenerative energy, spanning three countries, complete with its self-governing laws and regulations and all strategically designed for economic stimulation.
Currently being developed in Tabuk, the northwest corner of Saudi Arabia that intersects Egypt and Jordan, NEOM is a pillar of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

- Agreement makes official travel easier between the 2 countries
RIYADH: In a significant move to cut through bureaucratic procedures, Saudi Arabia and India have signed a bilateral visa waiver agreement, with both countries agreeing on mutual short-stay visa exemptions to facilitate official travel and boost bilateral exchanges.
Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Suhel Ajaz Khan and Abdulmajeed bin Rashed Alsmari, the deputy minister for protocol affairs at the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, signed the agreement — the latter on behalf of Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan — at the ministry’s headquarters in Riyadh on Wednesday.
“The agreement will facilitate official travel and boost bilateral exchanges under the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council,” Khan told Arab News.
The agreement provides mutual exemption from short-stay visa requirements for holders of diplomatic, special and official passports from both countries.
It signifies a step forward in bilateral relations, making official travel easier for government, diplomatic and special envoys, and reflects the growing trust and cooperation between the two countries.
The deal is expected to streamline the movement of officials between the Kingdom and India and strengthen cooperation across various sectors under the strategic partnership framework established between the countries.
