Italian and Saudi officials held an official meeting on Monday to discuss future partnerships and joint ventures in oil, mining and gas, as Italian Minister of Business Adolfo Urso traveled to Riyadh ahead of the COP28 international climate conference in Dubai, which officially begins on Thursday.
"Italy and Saudi Arabia are committed to developing a regulatory and industrial context that favors and accelerates strategic autonomy in the critical raw materials sector," Urso said in a press conference on Monday following dialogue with Khalid Al Salem, President of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu.
