Saudi Arabia, US announce several agreements during Joe Biden visit
Saudi Arabia and USA announced Friday (July 15) to cooperate on a range of future industries including 5G networks, enhanced cybersecurity, and space exploration, in addition to public health.
The announcement came after US President Joe Biden met with Saudi Arabia’s leaders King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah.
A White House statement announced that a MoU will connect Saudi and US technology companies to deploy 5G technology using open, virtualized, and cloud-based radio access networks locally, in addition to developing 6G cell technology.
An additional stage of cooperation will see the two countries expanding an existing bilateral relationship on sharing critical threats and malicious activities in the cyberspace.
The statement said that the move would “enhance the shared defense” of both countries and help collaborate on “best practices, technologies, tools, and on approaches to cybersecurity training and education.”
