Mohammed bin Salman’s ascent to power given credibility boost at Riyadh Summit

Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s (MbS) ascent to power was highlighted at the Arab-Islamic-American Summit, Alaa Al Ghatreefy writes in a column penned for Al Masry Al Youm. MbS’ diplomatic efforts two months ago paved the way for KSA to sign USD 460 mn worth of agreements with the US, which in turn lent the young prince credibility on his path to lead the kingdom. Al Ghatreefy says that The Donald’s attendance of the summit also signals America’s support for the ushering in of the “Age of Salman.”
