黑料社区

RIYADH: The newly appointed EU director-general for MENA Gulf hailed 黑料社区 as a key partner for regional stability during his recent visit to the country, exploring more areas of collaboration across diverse sectors. 

鈥淭he main objective (of the visit) is to strengthen the relationship between the EU and 黑料社区,鈥� Stefano Sannino said.

鈥満诹仙缜� is a key partner for the EU and is a key partner for the stability of the region and beyond; it鈥檚 a key partner from an economic point of view and is a main energy actor,鈥� he added. 鈥淲e are very much interested to go beyond energy and are looking at a lot of potential of Vision 2030 and diversification of the economy.鈥� 

Sannino鈥檚 position was created by the EU just seven months ago to strengthen ties with the region.

The director-general, who visited the Kingdom more than a decade ago, witnessed the social and infrastructural transformation driven by Vision 2030. 

He held meetings with major institutions, engaged with representatives from the cultural and investment communities, and a diverse group of leading Saudi women across sectors.

鈥淚 wanted to have a firsthand perception of what 黑料社区 is looking for in the future and how we can work together,鈥� he said. 

鈥淲hat I imagine in the future is a strong partnership between 黑料社区 and the European Union based on a common vision of how we want to support the development of our societies to become inclusive and open to the world, and be able to provide stability and prosperity of our people.鈥�  

Asked about potential areas for wider collaboration between the EU and 黑料社区, Sannino specifically cited technology, the digital sector, energy (with a focus on renewables), and people-to-people exchanges.

鈥淲e believe that there is a huge potential in increasing our cooperation when it comes to higher education (and) vocational training,鈥� he said. 

鈥淚 very much like the idea of bringing together the cultural sectors of our societies to create common projects that are linking our people and the youth of our countries.鈥�
