A significant change in the nation’s perception
Previously, Saudi Arabia has resisted participating in these competitions for various religious and cultural reasons. Nonetheless, Alqahtani’s involvement represents a change in the nation’s perceptions towards beauty pageants within the country.
Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud made a major decision when he announced that Saudi Arabia would participate in the Miss Universe competition for the first time. This dispels the notion that his nation is traditional. It shows the nation’s adaptability to change, shedding the image of a conservating country.
Saudi Arabia represents:
On that note, Saudi Arabia has seen progressive changes to modernise the nation and advance gender equality in the past few years. Alqahtani’s participation in the Miss Universe competition represents the country’s willingness to embrace cultural diversity and walk alongside the world’s community, matching shoulder to shoulder.
