RIYADH: The Korea-Saudi Parliamentary Friendship Committee held a meeting on Monday to strengthen and build upon the bilateral relationship between the two countries.

The meeting was chaired by Council Member and Committee Chairman Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Muhanna and attended by the Parliamentary Friendship Committee in the Korean Parliament, chaired by Song Ki-hoon, at the Council headquarters in Riyadh.

The visit highlighted a milestone in reinforcing the longstanding partnership between the Republic of Korea and the Kingdom.

Since then, the bilateral relationship has crossed those industries and ventured into sectors of artificial intelligence, smart cities, culture, education, healthcare and defense.

The meeting emphasized a commitment to long-term strengthening of relations through parliamentary collaboration that places government, economic and societal dimensions at the forefront of continuous efforts.

It highlighted how both nations have a friendly longstanding and dynamic relationship that aims to advance mutually beneficial efforts.
