Saudi Arabia holds a key role in the Gulf and broader Middle Eastern geopolitics. The reform process brought underway by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has raised questions about the true depth and meaning of these reforms. How will they change Saudi Arabia’s face, at home and abroad? And what we should expect from the new Saudi Arabia as a regional and global actor?
MEP Dan Preda, AJC Transatlantic Center, The German Marshall Fund of the United States, and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung are hosting prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Hon Mary Beth Long to discuss Mohammed bin Salman’s Saudi Arabia, its reforms, alliances, and regional role.

There's still a fair amount of convergence between the U.S. and Europe when it comes to #Iran, as well as places where they can work together, shared @LongDefense at recent GMF event in Brussels: https://t.co/RisdPCC0Wm pic.twitter.com/Veff7rGu2w
