Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubair said on Wednesday that the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wants to turn Saudi Arabia into a normal and powerful country.
"The world is not used to seeing Saudi Arabia moving quickly and boldly," he said during a conference held at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"Some criticized Saudi Arabia for progressing slowly, and today the opposite is happening,” he added.
