The Saudi government discussed on Tuesday the latest developments related to joint committees between the Kingdom and several countries.
The ministers reviewed the signing of memoranda of understanding between Riyadh and these countries with the aim of developing cooperation in all fields to achieve joint interests and boost relations.
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.
The ministers were briefed on the telephone call Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received from India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Following the cabinet meeting, Media Minister Salman Al-Dosari said the ministers praised the progress achieved by the Saudi-Japanese Manar initiative on cooperation in the field of clean energy.
The initiative could serve as a model for countries around the world in their pursuit of developing strategies and plans to achieve the ambition of reaching carbon neutrality.
The cabinet said the inauguration of the fourth year of the eighth session of the Shura Council reflected a year full of accomplishments during which the Kingdom strived to fulfill the goals of securing a decent life for its citizens, continued its comprehensive development journey, and solidified its global leading standing and competitiveness in various fields.
Moreover, the cabinet deemed the extension of the Citizen Account Program, along with the provision of additional support to its beneficiaries until the end of 2024, as a testament to the leadership's care for the well-being of the citizens, and commitment to easing their financial burdens and improving their livelihoods, particularly in times of economic instability.
