Riyadh, December 13, 2020, SPA -- Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas.
Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported in its editorial that the world is living historical moments and waiting anxiously to witness the results of using vaccines approved by the World Health Organization and international bodies, as pandemic has proven that the global economic recovery is still difficult due to its second outbreak in many countries, despite the peerless economic stimulus measures taken by different governments in many countries.
The paper added that the countries' ability to cope with another pandemic has greatly diminished and alliances must be made against these diseases.
In this regard, Fitch Ratings said that it is unlikely that upgrades of any major economy are unlikely in 2021 despite recent developments related to COVID-19 vaccination, as the deterioration in economic sectors, prices and supply chains has taken a longer period than what was expected at the beginning of the pandemic; therefore the global contraction that reached 8 percent may be difficult to recover from. Senior economists at Fitch believe that the countries that will achieve success in vaccination processes will witness the maximum economic recovery, but nevertheless, the beginnings in 2021 will be weak in Europe and the United States.
On the other side, countries facing a slower distribution of the vaccine will experience severe economic difficulties.
Okaz newspaper reported in its editorial that the Saudi ministry of health's announcement of importing the COVID-19 vaccine and its announcement that the registration mechanism for taking the Coronavirus vaccine will be announced soon, as well as the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) announced that it has approved the registration of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia affirmed that the Saudi experience made the human safety as a top priority.
The newspaper concluded that Saudi Arabia has always believed that the greatest wealth in a good land is the human being.
In another context, Al-Yaum newspaper said in its editorial that the Iranian regime continues to support and provide weapons and money for the terrorist militias in Arab countries, causing the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in those countries, as danger and threat extends to reach regional and international neighbors.
The newspaper added that the actions of the Iranian regime confirmed that this system is not a natural part of the world.
The United States condemnation of the law recently approved by Iran is nothing more than the regime's latest ploy to use its nuclear program to try to intimidate the international community. The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's assertion that If implemented, this law would result in Iran enriching uranium to the dangerous 20% level, while Iran is already exceeding the the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on levels of enrichmen's limits on enrichment levels, as well as expanding its uranium stockpile and researching, producing, and installing advanced centrifuges, the paper added.
Pompeo said that Iran has provided no credible technical rationale for why it needs to move precipitously to enrich uranium to that level for any peaceful purpose.
