Business leaders in Saudi Arabia and Egypt are advocating for enhanced economic collaboration with the aim of elevating their already significant $20 billion trade partnership. The Saudi-Egyptian Business Council has proposed the formation of an economic alliance to facilitate joint expansion into new markets, with a particular focus on the African continent.

This initiative is designed to create synergies between the two nations’ business sectors, capitalizing on investment opportunities and projects that will contribute to food and medicine security. The alliance is also positioned to tackle challenges that arise from global economic upheavals.
