OPINION (/OPINION)
dates back to the

CATEGORY/MEDIA)
“In perspective, they
go back a long time
and, in that time, we
have had our ups JOBS
and downs, and we
have agreed on
some things and
disagreed on
others,” he said. “It’s
one of those times
when there has
been a lot of hype
about the
relationship,
especially in the
media and in the US
following issues like
(the killing of Jamal)
Khashoggi, the war
in Yemen and
others.”
From a Saudi
perspective, he
argued that the
strategic interest of
2/14/2019
both countries Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups SAUDI ARABIA
would override
whatever current MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
issues have risen.
“From that context, WORLD (/WORLD)
the Kingdom’s
steadfast and very BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
rock-solid
SPORT (/SPORT)
engagement with
the US in the last (/)
70-odd years has
weathered equally OPINION (/OPINION)
di cult times,” he
said. “Not only on MEDIA (/MAIN-
CATEGORY/MEDIA)
the Palestinian
issue, the Ramadan
War in 1973 and the
oil embargo, but JOBS
also 9/11 and Bin
 Laden, and yet,
we’ve had a constant
number of
American
expatriates living in
Saudi, from 25,000
to 30,000 over the
years.”
 Today, the US hosts

more than 100,000
Saudis as a result of
the education
program that the
late King Abdullah
launched a few
2/14/2019
years ago. Aside Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups SAUDI ARABIA
from business
interests – and the MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
US’ position as
Saudi’s largest WORLD (/WORLD)
investor — Prince
Turki described BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
such links as equally

SPORT (/SPORT)
strategic and
important because (/)
they brought people
together. He OPINION (/OPINION)
expressed hope that
representatives in MEDIA (/MAIN-
CATEGORY/MEDIA)
the US Senate and
Congress would see
Saudi “for what it
is,” and not for what JOBS
the media made it
 out to be.
Speaking on the
Khashoggi
investigation, he
said the Kingdom
had taken those
considered
responsible for the
“vicious and
heinous crime” to
court.
“The court
procedures in Saudi
are well-de ned,
and they are known
to US
representatives in
Riyadh. Let that take
its course. For many
years, Americans
2/14/2019
and others usedSaudi
to Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups SAUDI ARABIA
(say) the Kingdom
did not have a sound MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
system and now,
they ask us to WORLD (/WORLD)

(/)
He said Saudi

as well as the
system of others, MEDIA (/MAIN-
adding that the CATEGORY/MEDIA)
courts would decide

and, whatever they
decided, the
JOBS
Executive Authority (HTTP://CAREERS.ARABNEWS.COM)
 would implement it.

“It could have been
handled better, and
there have been
mistakes
committed,” he
explained.
“We have admitted

those mistakes, we
clari ed our

arrested the people
suspected of doing

In terms of the US
policy in the Middle
East, Prince Turki
said that the US had
de ned important
objectives in the
2/14/2019
region. “From daySaudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups
SAUDI ARABIA
one, US President
Donald Trump MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
declared he wanted
to reach a solution WORLD (/WORLD)
to the Israeli-
Palestinian con ict, BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
and he described it
SPORT (/SPORT)
as the deal of the
century. And I hope (/)
he comes through
with that. I don’t OPINION (/OPINION)
know the terms of
the deal or if anyone MEDIA (/MAIN-
CATEGORY/MEDIA)
else knows, but
there have been
engagements with
leaders of the Arab JOBS
world on the issue.”
He mentioned
Trump’s declaration
of identifying Iran
as the major
instigator of unrest
in the region, and
his will to change its
course of action
through sanctions
and other measures,
including the
withdrawal from the
nuclear deal.
“Those are things

that Saudi de nitely
supports and would
like to see happen,”
he said. “On other
issues, I wouldn’t
want to see the US
2/14/2019
withdrawing from Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups
SAUDI ARABIA
our part of the
world because it has MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
interests here, not
just nancial and WORLD (/WORLD)
business, but also

on humanitarian BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
terms. The long

SPORT (/SPORT)
history of US
engagement goes (/)
back to the 19th
century, and it’s for OPINION (/OPINION)
everybody to see.”
MEDIA (/MAIN-
From the American CATEGORY/MEDIA)
University in Beirut
to the American
University in Cairo,
JOBS
the launch of some (HTTP://CAREERS.ARABNEWS.COM)
 of these institutions
from the 19th
century was said to
reveal the amount of
interaction between
the US and the Arab
world.
Prince Turki said

Arab countries felt
at rest and
developed a trust
for the US when it
stood by them
during Saddam
Hussein’s invasion
of Kuwait in 1990. “It
was with the US’
help and support
that we managed to
get that issue settled
positively. The US
2/14/2019
shed blood in our Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups
SAUDI ARABIA
part of the world,
sometimes MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
positively,
sometimes WORLD (/WORLD)
negatively, but the

positives are there BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
to see, so we’d like

SPORT (/SPORT)
to keep the US
engaged in our part (/)
of the world and a
withdrawal only OPINION (/OPINION)
allows for
malevolent forces to MEDIA (/MAIN-
CATEGORY/MEDIA)
come in.”
A US withdrawal
from Syria, he said,
JOBS
would entail Iran’s (HTTP://CAREERS.ARABNEWS.COM)
 expansion of its
in uence in the
country, which
contradicted the
Trump
administration’s
intention of pushing
Iranians out of
Syria. “It’s a huge
disappointment on
a personal level. I
remember when the
US invaded Iraq,
and the same
applies to Syria. It
will have worse
consequences.”
Asked about Iran’s

presence in the
nuclear deal, he said
it made no
2/14/2019
di erence as its Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups SAUDI ARABIA
actions on the
ground were very MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)
negative and have
not changed. “(The WORLD (/WORLD)
expansion) of Iran’s
nuclear program BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
would be a concern
SPORT (/SPORT)
for Saudi. And the
only way you can (/)
deal with that is to
continue to sanction OPINION (/OPINION)
Iran as Trump has
done.” MEDIA (/MAIN-
CATEGORY/MEDIA)
But issues across

the region at large
remained. Although
JOBS
Prince Turki did not (HTTP://CAREERS.ARABNEWS.COM)
 foresee any
potential Saudi-
Israeli engagement,
he said the
Palestinian issue
was at the top of the
agenda for the
Kingdom.
“There is a much
broader issue of
problems in the
Middle East, and the
Palestinian one is a
big issue. A solution
to the crisis must be
a priority for the
region and the
world.”

Prince Turki (/)

described himself as
a realist, taking OPINION (/OPINION)
issues in the region

basis. Some
potential
achievements he
named for this year JOBS
could include a
breakthrough with  (http://twitter.com/arabnews)  (ht
the deal of the

century and Iran
changing its course
in the region. His
main optimism,
however, lay with
Saudi’s Vision 2030
reform plan and the
transformations
taking place across
the Kingdom.
“With all of the

criticism that it has
acquired since its
announcement (in
2016), it has proven
to be a very viable
and durable look
into the future.
When the king and
2/14/2019
crown prince Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups SAUDI ARABIA
announced the
vision, they clearly MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)

can be altered,
reviewed, BUSINESS (/ECONOMY)
diminished and
SPORT (/SPORT)
increased, and
that’s what has been (/)
happening.
Timetables have OPINION (/OPINION)
changed.”  His main
take from it was that MEDIA (/MAIN-
CATEGORY/MEDIA)
it had enthused
Saudi citizens —
and not just the 70
percent under the JOBS
age of 30. “I’m not of
 that demographic,
and I’m equally
enthused on what
the vision has
promised and what I
see the government
is doing. The two
aspects that give me
hope are that
government
departments have
become more
accountable on what
they do in the
Kingdom than ever
before, and our
nancial
institutions,
especially the
Ministry of Finance
and the budgeting
2/14/2019
system in Saudi,Saudi Arabia celebrates Valentine’s Day without hiccups SAUDI ARABIA
have become much
more transparent.” MIDDLE EAST (/MIDDLEEAST)

presence of

how government

performing, in (/)
terms of spending

that there is
seriousness in
wanting to

accomplish what (HTTP://CAREERS.ARABNEWS.COM)
 Vision 2030 has

promised.
Overall, Prince
Turki said he was
optimistic about the
relationship
between Saudi
Arabia and the US in
the year ahead.
“We’re much closer
than ever before,
and we’re setting an
example as two
countries, especially
in the Gulf, that

kept us apart in the
past, and we’re
