Due to my work and relationships with many fellow ambassadors, my presence as a witness and representative of my country abroad, and my continuous awareness of the challenges and requirements the world is witnessing and the systematic attacks we are exposed to from the cells of the hidden media envious of my country, I believe that there are multiple roles for embassies abroad that must have continuous plans that are compatible with the challenges of the stage and that are equivalent to responding to every insult or accusation directed at our country. Everyone abroad is responsible, whether it is an ambassador, a consul, or a member of the embassy, or even citizens who work abroad or are among the Saudi nationals residing in foreign countries.
Great emphasis must be placed on external media in embassies, and there must be careful and diligent follow-up of what is published in the media in those countries, and there must be experts and analysts in the embassies who monitor the repercussions of what is being circulated and how to respond to it with a mindset of balance and composure, and there must be a media outlet confronting those campaigns that preserves the reputation of the homeland abroad and responds to lies, falsehoods, and allegations, with the importance of monitoring electronic attacks through social media and its content.
I believe that embassies abroad should have continuous coordination through cultural attachés to provide all kinds of support to distinguished scholarship students in some countries, and that the embassy should be present in honoring these geniuses who have received offers from universities and research centers abroad, and that the embassies should be a voice that supports the scholarship student who has obtained certificates and patents so that the country can benefit from his energy, and the embassy should also be proactive in honoring and crowning these heroes, just as foreign entities honor them, so their embassy is more worthy of providing all the honor to them.
Embassies and consulates abroad must strive to develop their performance and take advantage of their capabilities and tools, and the need to move towards the first world through the distinguished performance of the embassy and its presence in the forums of those countries, with the importance of embassies taking the initiative to introduce the peoples abroad to the history and glories of this country, religious, historical, social, cultural, and tourist, with the revitalization of the aspect of introducing investment aspects in the homeland that are still absent from foreign investors due to the lack of education and awareness of tourism aspects and the components of trade in the Kingdom and introducing the whole world to our promising vision. In addition, I hope that the aspect of educational, health, and service cooperation between foreign countries and the Kingdom will be activated by strengthening the bonds of relationship and finding renewed channels to achieve the goals of the homeland in all fields.
