Misk marks 10 years of empowering Saudis

  • Special event to showcase future development plans

JEDDAH: The Mohammed bin Salman Foundation, known as Misk, will celebrate its 10th anniversary in Jeddah on Oct. 18 and 19 under the patronage of Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal.

To mark the decade of empowering Saudi youth, Misk will be showcasing its future plans for the nation’s development at a special event.

With more than 30 speakers, the gathering will provide participants with an array of topics focusing on the foundation’s four areas of operations — leadership, entrepreneurship, community upliftment and skills development.

Sessions will also highlight major projects that the organization has developed including Manga Productions, Misk Art Institute, Misk Schools and Riyadh Schools.

The interactive introductory sessions will ensure participants can interact and build networks with experienced leaders and graduates of Misk’s various initiatives.

One of Misk’s key programs is “2030 Leaders,” an exclusive world-class program tailored for Saudi leaders and presented by some of the world’s leading academics.

The foundation also runs “The Misk Fellowship,” a six-month program offering undergraduate and postgraduate Saudi students a chance to study at leading universities worldwide.

Meanwhile, the sixth Misk Global Forum will be held on Nov. 8 and 9 with the participation of local and international experts.

Yemen Airways launches direct flights between Socotra and Jeddah

DUBAI: Yemen Airways announced the launch of direct flights between Yemen’s Socotra archipelago and Jeddah, with weekly services set to begin on Wednesday.

Mohsen Haidara, deputy general manager for commercial affairs at Yemen Airways, told the Yemeni News Agency that the inaugural flight scheduled for Wednesday will facilitate the evacuation of foreign tourists stranded on Socotra due to recent operational challenges.

Haidara said the airline will subsequently operate regular weekly flights on the Socotra-Jeddah route, aiming to boost tourism and strengthen the island’s status as a global destination.

He added that the new route contributes to the local economy, in line with Yemen Airways’ efforts to expand links with key regional destinations and support tourism development on the island.
