Kuwait, Saudi Arabia discuss industrial and mineral cooperation

KUWAIT: Kuwait’s Minister of Oil, Dr. Tareq Al-Roumi, held high-level talks on Tuesday with Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, Bandar Al-Khorayef, to discuss ways of strengthening bilateral cooperation in the industrial and mineral sectors. According to a statement from Kuwait’s Ministry of Oil, the two sides reviewed the latest technological advancements in mineral exploration and processing. The discussions also focused on identifying strategic areas for cooperation, including opportunities for industrial integration aligned with the national development visions of both countries.

The meeting highlighted the importance of utilizing the advanced industrial capabilities available in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to establish a collaborative model. Such a framework would support technical partnerships, promote knowledge sharing, and align with broader goals for sustainable development and regional economic diversification under the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) initiatives.

“This meeting reflects Kuwait’s commitment to reinforcing regional cooperation and deepening its strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia,” the ministry said, noting the shared interest in fostering development across industrial and mineral wealth sectors. Minister Al-Roumi led the Kuwaiti delegation, which included Undersecretary Sheikh Dr. Nimer Fahad Al-Malik Al-Sabah and Kuwait Petroleum Corporation CEO Sheikh Nawaf Saud Al-Nasser Al-Sabah. The Saudi delegation, headed by Minister Al-Khorayef, included Ambassador Prince Sultan bin Saad Al Saud, Saudi Exports Authority CEO Abdulrahman Al-Thukair, and Undersecretary for Industrial Development Badr Foudeh. — KUNA
