In a wide-ranging late-night interview at his
palace here, Saudi Arabia’s young Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
described a new wave of reforms as part of the “shock” therapy needed to
modernize the kingdom’s cultural and political life.
“MBS,”
as the headstrong 32-year-old crown prince is known, began the
conversation just before midnight Monday, at the end of a day that had
brought new royal decrees
shaking up the Saudi military and government bureaucracy and appointing
a woman to a cabinet ministry, Tamadur bint Youssef al-Ramah as deputy
minister for labor. For more than two hours, MBS discussed his campaigns
against corruption and Muslim extremism, as well as his strategy for
the region.
