According to CCTV, Saudi Arabia and the United States signed a new agreement aimed at strengthening cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy stated that the agreement is based on the long-standing strategic partnership between the two countries.

The ministry said the agreement was implemented following the announcement made during the visit of Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman to the United States last November that bilateral negotiations on the peaceful use of nuclear energy would be concluded.

The agreement aims to enhance cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and facilitate the exchange of expertise, knowledge, and technology in accordance with the highest international standards on nuclear safety, nuclear security, and nuclear non-proliferation.

The Saudi Ministry of Energy added that the memorandum will also contribute to the Kingdom's goals of diversifying energy resources, supporting the development of advanced technologies, and creating greater opportunities for investment and cooperation between the two countries.
