The US-Saudi Business Council, in collaboration with the White House and the US Department of Commerce, hosted a high-level investment event on Friday in Washington.
The event was held in preparation for the upcoming visit of US President Donald Trump to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the economic partnership between the two countries, the Saudi Press Agency said Saturday.
The event was attended by senior executives from more than 50 American companies, alongside a high-level Saudi delegation that included officials from over 10 ministries, government agencies, and private-sector companies. The gathering provided a valuable opportunity for dialogue and the exchange of perspectives on the prospects for bilateral cooperation.
Representatives from the US Department of Commerce and the US-Saudi Business Council presented strategic visions and key topics focused on supporting trade and investment relations between both sides.
Participants discussed cooperation opportunities in sectors vital to both economies, including digitalization and artificial intelligence, mining and minerals, innovation in the energy sector, and the development of cross-border trade and investment.
Bilateral meetings between representatives of American companies and the Saudi delegation offered platforms to explore market trends and strengthen direct business relations.
The event reflected the shared commitment of both countries to advance economic cooperation to deeper levels and highlights the pivotal role of the US-Saudi Business Council in building bridges between the public and private sectors in both Saudi Arabia and the United States.
