JEDDAH: Jeddah Gov. Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Jalawi received Ghana’s Consul General Abdul Rahaman Adam at his office on Monday.
The officials held discussions on topics of common interest. The Saudi leadership aims to boost ties with African countries at all levels.

Last month, Saudi Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Waleed Elkhereiji reaffirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to strengthening cooperation and partnership with African countries, promoting trade and integration and enhancing consultation and coordination on shared issues.

The minister described Africa as a continent of opportunities with natural resources, a young population and renewable potential.

“Africa hosts the largest number of Saudi diplomatic and consular missions, and the Kingdom intends to increase its embassies in Africa to more than 40 in the coming years,” he said.
