RIYADH: Saudi Arabia expanded its transport and logistics partnership with China by signing a smart-mobility agreement and showcasing more than 75 investment opportunities at Transport Logistic China 2026 in Shanghai.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the Transport General Authority participated in a Saudi pavilion comprising 25 government and private-sector entities. Saudi and Chinese organizations signed seven memoranda of understanding and agreements during the exhibition's opening day, covering logistics, mobility and industrial development.
The latest agreements build on growing transport cooperation between the two countries since the Saudi-Chinese summit in Riyadh in December 2022, when they agreed to align Saudi Vision 2030 with China’s Belt and Road Initiative and strengthen collaboration in transport infrastructure, supply chains and logistics.
Speaking during the exhibition's opening session, Transport General Authority Deputy Governor for Transport Enablement Omaimah Bamasag said the Kingdom is pursuing “modern and sustainable mobility through a flexible regulatory framework,” the SPA report stated.
She said the framework is designed to support innovation, encourage investment, and accelerate the adoption and localization of advanced transport technologies.
