Saudi Arabia and Uruguay have held discussions to explore potential investment opportunities in agriculture, livestock, and fisheries, aiming to bolster food security in both nations while expanding bilateral trade and economic cooperation.
The meeting took place during a visit by Saudi Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, Eng. Abdulrahman bin Abdulmohsen Al-Fadhli, to Uruguay, where he met with his Uruguayan counterpart, Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries, Eng. Fernando Mattos.
The discussions, attended by representatives from the private sector, focused on strengthening joint collaboration, sharing expertise, and enhancing investment opportunities in these vital sectors.
