Paris, Rajab 24, 1439, Apr 10, 2018, SPA -- On the sidelines of the official visit to France by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Defense, the Saudi-France CEO Forum started in Paris today to promote bilateral business and cooperation between the two countries. During the forum, a number of cooperation arrangements and prospective commercial collaborations were signed and discussed between Saudi partners and French counterparts. In a key address at the Forum, Saudi Aramco President & CEO Amin H. Nasser said that Saudi Aramco has a massive and highly ambitious investment program over the next decade which is part of our portfolio expansion aspiration. This includes a number of mega world scale projects where French businesses can play a major role in providing the strategic mix of technical capabilities and innovation which would create the desired synergy which will be beneficial to the company but also to the Kingdom. With Vision 2030, I believe there are more opportunities for collaboration and partnerships, not only in the oil and gas sector but also in infrastructure, manufacturing and services industries which are critical to manage and operate an enterprise like Saudi Aramco. --SPA 17:18 LOCAL TIME 14:18 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w664366
