00:00As I said, these are the most powerful businessmen, arguably, in the world.
00:06How will this be viewed by global business leaders?
00:11What will the take on this be?
00:14I think it's a signal to global business leaders that Saudi Arabia has arrived.
00:20It is a player on the global stage.
00:22I mentioned before it's a regional power, but it's much more.
00:25I mean, it's trying to help the peace process.
00:29Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and we all know that meetings were held in Riyadh recently.
00:34But beyond that, Saudi Arabia is not simply a source of investment money.
00:40As the cliche goes, it's not an ATM.
00:42It is an actor.
00:43It is an actor that is shaping global investment on this most advanced area of technology
00:50and is leading the way with the modernization and transformation of its own economy.
00:55So, you know, Saudi Arabia is leading by example.

01:04and he alluded to that also.
01:05But the sheer magnitude of the investments that Saudi Arabia can make
01:09and the way it's choosing to do so in these highest levels of technologies,
01:14again, it's a signal to the world that Saudi Arabia has become a different type of partner.
01:18That's exactly right.
