Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet approved a memorandum of understanding with Türkiye to expand cooperation in the railway sector, the Saudi Press Agency reported Tuesday.
The agreement, between Saudi Arabia’s General Transport Authority and Türkiye’s Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, was approved during a Cabinet meeting in Riyadh chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.
The decision follows agreements signed earlier this year aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two countries in railways and logistics services.
Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu visited Saudi Arabia in June, when the two countries signed cooperation agreements covering the railway sector and logistics services.
The latest Saudi Cabinet approval formally endorses the memorandum on railway cooperation between the two sides.
The Cabinet also highlighted the signing of a general agreement linking Gulf Cooperation Council countries through a regional railway project, citing continued efforts toward strategic cooperation and economic and development integration.
During the meeting, Saudi ministers also reviewed bilateral and regional cooperation with several countries.
The Cabinet authorized talks with Jordan and Syria on a proposed agreement covering telecommunications and digital infrastructure and approved other international cooperation measures in areas including energy, investment and maritime affairs.
Saudi Arabia also reiterated its support for regional and international security and stability and called for an immediate halt to actions threatening maritime navigation through the Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz.
