Saudi Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Ahmed Al-Rajhi received the closing statement of the civil society engagement group for the G20 countries on behalf of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

The C20 group wrapped up on Saturday the work of this year's civil society summit chaired by Saudi Arabia, which was held virtually during the past four days, with the presence of more than 20,000 participants from 109 countries around the world.

The summit’s agenda had 65 discussion sessions and workshops, in which the more than 380 speakers included representatives of the governments of twenty countries, international civil society organizations, and specialized international organizations, as well as experts and decision-makers.

Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman, the minister of energy, participated in a special dialogue on the future of green energy.

A number of representatives of the Saudi presidency of the G20 countries also took part in the summit, including Fahd Al-Mubarak, minister of state.

"We won’t be part of the problem, nor part of the solution. Our goal is to be pioneering in finding solutions," Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman said.

He affirmed that the Kingdom has been tirelessly pushing towards an international commitment to endorse the Circular Carbon Economy in efforts for a sustainable and clean environment.

The Economic and Trade Committee of the Saudi-Thai Coordination Council held on Thursday its first meeting in Bangkok to strengthen trade relations between the two countries.

The meeting was attended by Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah and his Thai counterpart, Maris Sangiampongsa.

The meeting was chaired by General Authority of Foreign Trade (GAFT) Deputy Governor for International Relations Abdulaziz bin Omar Al-Sukran and Thai Ministry of Commerce Permanent Secretary Vuttikrai Leewiraphan.

The committee aims to strengthen trade relations between Saudi Arabia and Thailand by exchanging expertise; fostering cooperation in economic and developmental fields; promoting food, health, and halal products; advancing industrial development; involving the private sectors of both countries in trade fairs and conferences; and addressing trade obstacles and challenges facing both nations.

The volume of trade between Saudi Arabia and Thailand reached more than $6 billion by the third quarter of 2024. Prominent Saudi exports included mineral products and fertilizers, while major Thai imports to the Saudi market included automobiles and their parts, as well as machinery and mechanical tools and their components.
