تثبت النظرة الواقعية «المنصفة» إلى حصاد الدبلوماسية التي يرعاها خادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك سلمان بن عبدالعزيز، ويقودها ولي العهد رئيس مجلس الوزراء الأمير محمد بن سلمان، منذ العام 2015، أن الرياض من أهم عواصم العالم المؤثرة سياسياً، واقتصادياً، وثقافياً، ورياضياً. وهي تنجح في كل ما بين يديها من إمكانات ومعطيات وقدرات وتأثيرات؛ إذ إنها لا تزال أكبر مصدّرٍ للنفط في العالم. كما أنها كسبت الرهانات على تحقيق تقدّم مُطّرد في نمو قطاعاتها غير النفطية، وتوفير المزيد من مصادر الدخل الذي لا يعتمد على إدمان النفط.
ويمكن بالإجمال القول إن المملكة استطاعت خلال الأعوام الماضية في ظل الظروف الساخنة أن ترسِّخ مكانتها كقائد عالمي، من دون أية تدخلات في شؤون الدول الأخرى. وعلى رغم تحديات البناء الوطني، بموجب خطط رؤية 2030، التي اختطها وبرع فيها ولي العهد الأمير محمد بن سلمان بن عبدالعزيز، فإن السعودية استطاعت تلبية متطلبات جودة حياة مواطنيها، من تعليم، وصحة، وسكن، وتوظيف، بموازاة فتح أبوابها للعالم سياحياً ورياضياً وترفيهياً.
ومن خلال كل ذلك الحراك الدبلوماسي النشط، نجحت المملكة في مواصلة القيام بدورها الحيوي إقليمياً وعالمياً، وحضورها الجيوبوليتيكي في الإقليم، الذي يكاد لا يستقر على حال.
وكانت رؤى 2030 خيطاً ناظماً لمسار الدبلوماسية السعودية نحو تصفير مشاكل الإقليم والوساطة في حلحلة النزاعات الدولية، بتركيز خاص على الشراكات، والوساطات والتحالفات، والانفتاح على الآخر.
والحقيقة أن هذا النهوض «السعودي الجيوبوليتيكي» تحقّق على رغم وجود تقلبات وتحديات حادة لا يمكن لكثير من الدول مواجهتها.
فقد استطاع ولي العهد التقدّم بسياسة سعودية مرنة تقوم على الديناميكية بجهود دبلوماسية لافتة في أتون أزمة الحرب الإسرائيلية في قطاع غزة، والعدوان الإسرائيلي على لبنان، وسورية، وتبعات انهيار نظام بشار الأسد في سورية، وسقوط المشروع الإيراني في الإقليم.
وباعتقادي أن سر نجاح دبلوماسية الرياض، التي يقودها بفاعلية عالية الأمير محمد بن سلمان، يكمن في بناء أفضل علاقات مع العالمَين العربي والإسلامي، وكذلك مع القوى الغربية والآسيوية، ما جعل السعودية ركيزة دبلوماسية أساسية في المشهدَين الإقليمي والدولي. وأضحت بذلك بلداً مؤثراً في منطقة أثخنتها الأزمات، وأدمتها الصراعات، حتى أن قادة دول العالم باتوا يتطلعون إلى الرياض بحثاً عن حلول لكثير من الأزمات المستعصية.
ولا بد من القول إن القيادة السعودية نجحت في توظيف أهمية تأثير بلادها، ونفوذها ودورها على الساحتين الإقليمية والدولية، ما أوجد لها صدى وتجاوباً كبيرَين، في قدرتها على حل الأزمات القريبة والبعيدة على حد سواء.
وتبدّت نجاحات الدبلوماسية السعودية في تحوّل الرياض إلى وجهة للزعماء العرب والمسلمين والغربيين، الباحثين عن حلول لأزمات مستحكمة تعبث باستقرار بلدانهم وأقاليمهم. وقد استطاع الأمير القدير محمد بن سلمان ببراعة أن يقرن بين السياسة الخارجية والنجاح في بناء شراكات اقتصادية، وتفاهمات سياسية كانت لها جدواها في تخفيف أجواء المنطقة والعالم من الأزمات والتعقيدات والصراعات.
ولا غنى عن القول إن الدبلوماسية السعودية لا تقتصر أهدافها على تعظيم المكاسب الاقتصادية والسياسية فحسب؛ بل إن السلام والاستقرار هما ركيزتها الكبرى.
إذ وسط الأمواج الهائجة في شتى أنحاء العالم؛ واصلت دبلوماسية محمد بن سلمان تعزيز تحالف الرياض الإستراتيجي مع واشنطن وموسكو ولندن وبكين وباريس ودلهي وإسلام آباد، وبناء مزيد من الشراكات الدولية، وتطوير العلاقات مع دول أخرى تربطها علاقات وثيقة بالرياض. ولهذا حققت مساعي المملكة نجاحاً معقولاً في الوساطة بين روسيا وأوكرانيا، وما استتبع ذلك من تبادل للأسرى بين الجانبين، وتعزيز العلاقات مع موسكو، خصوصاً في مجال التعاون للحفاظ على استقرار أسواق الطاقة العالمية، وسط التوترات التي يشهدها العالم، وصولاً إلى الدور الذي قامت به الدبلوماسية السعودية في معالجة الحرب الإسرائيلية على غزة، ورفض الرياض أي مساعٍ لتصفية القضية الفلسطينية، وتهجير شعب غزة، وإعطاء الوضع الجديد في سورية فرصة راجحة لإعادة الإعمار، وإعادة الاستقرار الاقتصادي والأمني لسورية. وبلغت نجاحات الدبلوماسية السعودية المسؤولة ذروتها بالنجاح المدوّي لمؤتمر «حل الدولتين» في نيويورك الشهر الماضي، والدور الكبير والمهم الذي قام به الأمير محمد بن سلمان في الاتصالات مع واشنطن، التي انتهت بالقمة العربية الإسلامية التي عقدها الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب في نيويورك، التي أسفرت عن إعلان خطته لإنهاء الحرب في قطاع غزة، وانفتاحه على ضرورة إعطاء الفلسطينيين حقوقهم في قيام دولتهم المستقلة، على أرضهم التاريخية.
الأكيد أن المزيج المتفرد من «الدبلوماسية السعودية»، جعل الأمير محمد بن سلمان أحد أبرز المؤثرين الناجحين الذين غيّروا وجه العالم خلال العقدين الأول والثاني من الألفية الثانية، وهو تغيير ستظهر أبعاده الكاملة خلال العقود القادمة، التي ستشهد مزيداً من النجاحات والإنجازات السعودية الكبيرة.

The realistic and "fair" perspective on the achievements of the diplomacy sponsored by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and led by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman since 2015, proves that Riyadh is one of the most influential capitals in the world politically, economically, culturally, and athletically. It succeeds in everything at its disposal of potentials, data, capabilities, and influences; as it remains the largest oil exporter in the world. It has also won bets on achieving steady progress in the growth of its non-oil sectors and providing more sources of income that do not rely on oil addiction.
In general, it can be said that the Kingdom has managed over the past years, in the face of heated circumstances, to establish its position as a global leader, without any interference in the affairs of other countries. Despite the challenges of national building under the Vision 2030 plans, which were outlined and excelled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia has been able to meet the quality of life requirements of its citizens, including education, health, housing, and employment, alongside opening its doors to the world in tourism, sports, and entertainment.
Through all this active diplomatic movement, the Kingdom has succeeded in continuing to play its vital role regionally and globally, and its geopolitical presence in a region that is almost constantly unstable.
The Vision 2030 has been a guiding thread for the path of Saudi diplomacy towards resolving regional problems and mediating in international disputes, with a special focus on partnerships, mediations, alliances, and openness to others.
In fact, this "Saudi geopolitical" rise has been achieved despite the existence of sharp fluctuations and challenges that many countries cannot face.
The Crown Prince has been able to advance with a flexible Saudi policy based on dynamism through remarkable diplomatic efforts amid the crisis of the Israeli war in Gaza, the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and Syria, the repercussions of the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, and the failure of the Iranian project in the region.
In my opinion, the secret to the success of Riyadh's diplomacy, effectively led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, lies in building the best relationships with both the Arab and Islamic worlds, as well as with Western and Asian powers, which has made Saudi Arabia a key diplomatic pillar in both the regional and international scenes. It has thus become an influential country in a region ravaged by crises and scarred by conflicts, to the extent that world leaders are now looking to Riyadh for solutions to many intractable crises.
It must be said that the Saudi leadership has succeeded in leveraging the importance of its country's influence, power, and role on both the regional and international arenas, which has created a significant resonance and response in its ability to resolve both near and distant crises alike.
The successes of Saudi diplomacy have manifested in Riyadh becoming a destination for Arab, Muslim, and Western leaders seeking solutions to entrenched crises that disrupt the stability of their countries and regions. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has skillfully managed to link foreign policy with the success of building economic partnerships and political understandings that have proven effective in alleviating the atmosphere of crises and complexities in the region and the world.
It is essential to state that Saudi diplomacy does not limit its objectives to maximizing economic and political gains alone; rather, peace and stability are its main pillars.
Amid the turbulent waves across the world, Mohammed bin Salman's diplomacy has continued to enhance Riyadh's strategic alliance with Washington, Moscow, London, Beijing, Paris, Delhi, and Islamabad, building more international partnerships and developing relations with other countries that have close ties with Riyadh. For this reason, the Kingdom has achieved reasonable success in mediating between Russia and Ukraine, which led to the exchange of prisoners between the two sides and strengthened relations with Moscow, especially in the area of cooperation to maintain stability in global energy markets amid the tensions the world is witnessing, culminating in the role played by Saudi diplomacy in addressing the Israeli war on Gaza, rejecting any attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause, displace the people of Gaza, and giving the new situation in Syria a strong opportunity for reconstruction and restoring economic and security stability to Syria. The successes of responsible Saudi diplomacy reached their peak with the resounding success of the "Two-State Solution" conference in New York last month, and the significant role played by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in communications with Washington, which culminated in the Arab-Islamic summit held by President Donald Trump in New York, resulting in the announcement of his plan to end the war in Gaza and his openness to the necessity of granting Palestinians their rights to establish their independent state on their historical land.
It is certain that the unique blend of "Saudi diplomacy" has made Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman one of the most successful influential figures who have changed the face of the world during the first and second decades of the second millennium, a change whose full dimensions will become apparent in the coming decades, which will witness more significant Saudi successes and achievements.
