Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Vice-Premier of China, Han Zheng, chaired the third meeting of the Saudi-Chinese High-Level Committee in Beijing to promote joint economic cooperation between the two countries and consolidate economic and cultural relations.

The meeting comes as part of the Crown Prince’s official two-day visit to China.

Several agreements, memorandums of understanding, and investment projects between Saudi Arabia and China have also been signed.

Earlier on Friday, the Crown Prince met with the Vice-Premier of China prior to the committee meeting.

“They are embracing this opportunity to hold a joint, bilateral, high-level committee meeting to guide and coordinate cooperation in all fields,” said Bader al-Asaker, the head of the Crown Prince’s private office and the Chairman of Misk Initiative Center, in a tweet.
