Critical Dependencies
King of Saudi Arabia and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques since January 2015. Now 90 years old as of 2026, King Salman has largely withdrawn from day-to-day governance, having ceded the Prime Minister role to his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in 2022 — the first time since 1964 that a Saudi king has not simultaneously served as head of government. He remains the formal head of state and a symbolic link between the kingdom's founding generation and its current Vision 2030-era leadership under MBS, with his name continuing to anchor major state humanitarian institutions -- most visibly the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), which he established by directive in May 2015 and which remained active in 2026, signing agreements and running projects across health, food security, water/sanitation and economic empowerment.
