RIYADH: The Saudi-Japanese Ministerial Investment Forum saw the signing of 12 memorandums of understanding across a wide range of sectors, including space, finance and agriculture.

The event aimed to enhance bilateral investment and trade cooperation, facilitate access to new investment opportunities, and review joint initiatives in key industries, including energy, machinery, and equipment, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

This cooperation will further strengthen the investment partnership between Saudi Arabia and Japan, particularly within the framework of the Saudi-Japanese Vision 2030, which aims to deepen economic collaboration and foster long-term strategic ties between the two nations.

The Kingdom has long been a key partner for Japan from an energy security perspective, serving as a stable and reliable supplier of crude oil for many years.

This relationship aligns with Japan’s strong commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia through the sharing of expertise and the transfer of advanced technologies that contribute to sustainable economic development.
