Al-Riyadh Newspaper said in its editorial titled ''Development and the Private Sector'' that the most important goals of the national transformation program are to push the private sector to the development front with all its components, so that the sector could be the key engine in the developmental localization and the operation after the completion of the privatization programs for many governmental services, especially in municipal, service and health sectors. The latest report, which was published yesterday by the paper, discussed the expected investments in infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, underscored this important role for the private sector as the report expected that the Kingdom will spend $ 1.1 trillion in the period from 2019 to 2038, considering focusing on mining, electricity, water and transportation infrastructure, which will stimulate the economic growth, create jobs and support broader national strategies.

On Yemen, Okaz Newspaper wrote in its editorial that the negotiations over Yemeni crisis will start on Thursday in the Swiss capital Geneva amidst an escalation of the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militias and pressure from the United Nations and the international community to achieve a lasting and stable peace for Yemen and working on the implementation of international resolutions. The paper pointed out that these consultations are an opportunity for the international community, which must act seriously to force the militias to give up arms, surrender the state and return to the right path as Yemeni citizens living within the civil state system far away from the ideology of terrorist groups and Iranian agendas which support chaos and destruction in Yemen . --SPA 12:16 LOCAL TIME 09:16 GMT 0005 www.spa.gov.sa/w744144
