He added that the Kingdom seeks to enhance bilateral trade exchanges, which amount to about $400 million, and establish joint ventures in various fields.

He said that the convening of the committee meetings
is a clear message that the two sides are keen to develop various fields of cooperation and move forward to remove obstacles and overcome the unprecedented challenges Palestine is facing.
He pointed to the Israeli occupation forces’ violations aimed at weakening the Palestinian economy through various means, including stealing tax money.
He added that the aggression on Gaza increased the challenges for the Palestinian government, as economic activities were disrupted in various sectors.
