Quote of the day by Mohanned bin Salman: 'I fear that the day I die, I am going to die without accomplishing what I have in my mind'

Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, said he fears dying without accomplishing what he has in mind.

He made the statement during a November 2017 interview with New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman in Riyadh.

MBS explained his relentless work pace by saying 'Life is too short, and a lot of things can happen, and I am really keen to see it with my own eyes, and that is why I am in a hurry.'

MBS was appointed Minister of Defense in 2015, took control of CEDA, and became Crown Prince in June 2017.

His leadership style is a radical departure from traditional Saudi governance, favoring rapid economic and cultural changes.
