G20 Summit to Use Saudi Videoconference Platform ‘Boroog’

G20 Summit to Use Saudi Videoconference Platform ‘Boroog’

In continuation of Saudi Arabia’s successful leadership of the G20 this year, and under the supervision of the G20 Saudi Secretariat, the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) has completed its preparations to manage and operate the secure government video conferencing system, Boroog, for the G20 Summit.

The Kingdom will host the summit on Nov. 21-22, under the theme "Realizing the opportunities of the 21st century for all".

Boroog is a secure video conferencing platform managed and operated by SDAIA through one of its executive arms, the National Information Center. It provides effective and efficient virtual meeting services for the Kingdom’s leadership and government entities. The platform also provides the highest levels of safety and reliability and helps reduce operational costs and expenses.

It is worth noting that Boroog has already hosted more than 700 local and international meetings successfully, including the Extraordinary G20 Leaders’ Summit in the Kingdom last March.

The platform is also used to host meetings of the Cabinet, the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, Political and Security Affairs Council, Shura Council, OPEC meetings, and several others held by government and semi-government entities.

Boroog platform comes as a result of the efforts of the young highly qualified national cadres who work continuously to empower government entities through developing their remote communication with different local and international entities. This fulfills one of the most prominent objectives for which the platform was established, ensuring business continuity support.

The SAL Saudi Logistics Services Company and Sela Company signed an agreement in Riyadh to launch the SAR4-billion SAL Logistics Zone, covering more than 1.5 million square meters within the Falcons City project north of Riyadh, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

The initiative aligns with their joint efforts to boost strategic partnerships, support the logistics sector, and boost the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics hub in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Transport and Logistics Strategy.

The signing ceremony was attended by Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih, Minister of Transport and Logistic Services Saleh Al-Jasser, General Authority of Civil Aviation President Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, Saudi Falcons Club CEO Talal bin Abdulaziz Al-Shamaisi, and several officials, investors, and business leaders.

Falcon City, for which the agreement was signed by SAL CEO Omar bin Talal Hariri and Sela Managing Director Rakan Al-Harthy, enhances the appeal of the Malham area north of Riyadh.

Home to the Saudi Falcons Club, one of the region’s most prominent cultural and heritage landmarks, the area has contributed to tourism and cultural activities through its programs, events, and international initiatives. This integration of economic projects with heritage activities attracts visitors and investors while reinforcing the area’s status as a comprehensive destination that blends a modern economy with the preservation of Saudi Arabia’s cultural heritage.

Hariri stressed that the new logistics zone will significantly bolster the company’s capabilities due to its strategic location near King Khalid International Airport, major highways, and rail networks connecting various regions of the Kingdom. This will solidify its position as a comprehensive hub for shipping and distribution operations, further supporting Saudi Arabia’s role as a key global trade center.

He noted that the SAR4-billion investment in developing a model logistics zone aligns with SAL’s strategic plan to strengthen its leadership as a national logistics provider that adheres to the highest global standards. The zone will feature high-quality, Category A warehouses and storage spaces designed to meet diverse requirements.

Falcons City represents an advanced model of integrated cities, spanning 14.4 million square meters in the Malham area north of Riyadh. Its strategic location ensures easy accessibility and includes key facilities such as the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center, a state-of-the-art logistics zone attracting major global companies, an aviation runway, and an aircraft maintenance area, all of which enhance air transport and cargo efficiency.

The project also features economic, commercial, residential, hospitality, and entertainment zones, along with an outlet mall to attract investors, residents, and visitors.
