Saudi-US roundtable meeting held to strengthen economic relations
RIYADH: The Saudi-US Roundtable was held in Riyadh on Jan. 20, coinciding with the ninth session of the Saudi-US Trade and Investment Association, organized by the General Authority for Foreign Trade.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Governor of International Relations at GAFT Abdulaziz Al-Sakran and the Secretary General of the Federation of Saudi Chambers Waleed Alorainan. It was also attended by the President and CEO of the Saudi-US Business Council Charles Hallab and representatives from government agencies, as well as 83 private sector companies.
The meeting reviewed ways to strengthen economic relations between Saudi Arabia and the US. It also explored opportunities for trade and investment cooperation in various sectors that play a fundamental role in developing trade ties and increasing bilateral trade volume, which reached approximately $33 billion in 2024.
Al-Sakran indicated that the roundtable meeting comes within the framework of the authority’s keenness to enhance the role of the private sector in developing trade relations by enabling it to access foreign markets and removing all external obstacles it faces, in coordination with relevant entities.
He noted that trade relations between the Kingdom and the US have witnessed significant economic activity, resulting in a trade volume exceeding $500 billion over the past decade.
It is worth noting that GAFT works to develop bilateral trade relations by overseeing business councils and coordination councils. In addition, it enables Saudi Arabia’s non-oil exports to access foreign markets and helps overcome the various challenges they face.
