Quizzed about Sportswashing - Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
The question coming as part of a rare media interview, given to Fox News.
“I don’t care [about the term sportswashing]. I have 1% growth in GDP from sport and I am aiming for another 1.5%.For me, it is absolutely right that the rest of the world helps push Saudi Arabia towards a better situation where human rights are concerned. This is the same when it comes to Russia, China, Qatar, North Korea and so many other nations / states. The Government should absolutely be doing this.
Saudi Arabia are investing in various sports for all the usual long-term reasons – money, prestige, power, influence. Hence why Mohammed bin Salman says / claims that this is all that he cares about, increasing the Saudi GDP by as much as possible, with investments in sporting projects one of the key parts of that.
