The Government Communication Center will hold its regular press conference tomorrow, Monday, hosting three prominent figures in the Saudi government: His Excellency the Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, Mr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Hogail; His Excellency the Minister of Media, Mr. Salman bin Yousef Al-Dossari; and His Excellency the President of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi. This conference is part of the government's efforts to enhance transparency and inform the public about the latest developments and achievements in vital sectors that directly impact citizens' lives.
Background and importance of the government conference
The government press conference is an important periodic platform launched by the Government Communication Center to serve as a bridge between government officials, the media, and the public. These conferences are significant because they reflect the government's commitment to transparency and accountability, two of the fundamental pillars of Saudi Vision 2030. Through these meetings, progress on various government projects and initiatives is reviewed, journalists' inquiries are answered, and the Kingdom's future policies and directions are clarified.
Key themes and expected impacts
Each speaker is expected to focus on strategic issues within their area of responsibility, thus painting a comprehensive picture of interconnected government work. Professor Majid Al-Haqil will address the transformation journey of the third (non-profit) sector within the municipalities and housing system, a vital focus aimed at improving the quality of life in Saudi cities and enhancing the efficiency of services provided to citizens. He will also review the latest developments in housing programs designed to increase homeownership rates among citizens.
For his part, Dr. Abdullah Al-Ghamdi will highlight the role of data and artificial intelligence in enabling charitable work through the national “Ihsan Platform.” “Ihsan” is considered a leading global model in using technology to maximize the impact of charitable work and ensure that donations reach their beneficiaries with the highest levels of reliability and transparency, reflecting the significant technological advancements taking place in the Kingdom and the role of the Saudi Data & Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) as a key driver of digital transformation.
Minister of Media, Mr. Salman Al-Dossari, will review the Kingdom's most prominent achievements and developments on both the local and international fronts. He is expected to address the role of media in keeping pace with the major transformations taking place in the country, highlighting mega-projects, and enhancing the Kingdom's positive image globally as a destination for investment, tourism, and culture.
The convergence of these three sectors – municipal services, digital transformation, and media – on a single platform underscores the government’s commitment to achieving the goals of Vision 2030, and provides citizens and international observers with a clear overview of the pace of achievement and future directions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
