National Identity in the Vision 2030 Framework

National identity and cultural heritage sit at the centre of Vision 2030’s first pillar, “A Vibrant Society,” alongside the Kingdom’s better-known economic ambitions: non-oil GDP, foreign direct investment, giga-projects, and sovereign wealth. The priority addresses the preservation and promotion of Saudi identity, Arabic language, heritage sites, cultural participation, and national pride. It proceeds from a conviction that modernisation and cultural continuity are not opposing forces but mutually reinforcing imperatives.

Promoting Islamic Values and National Identity KPI

The promoting Islamic values and national identity KPI links Saudi Arabia’s custodianship of Islam’s two holiest mosques to measurable Vision 2030 outcomes. Vision 2030 elevates this responsibility from a matter of national pride to a strategic priority, embedding pilgrimage capacity, heritage preservation, and cultural stewardship into the Kingdom’s transformation framework. The ambition is not merely to welcome more pilgrims but to reimagine the experience of visiting the Haramain, positioning Saudi Arabia as the gravitational centre of the Islamic world for generations to come.
