A high-level Saudi business delegation signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) on Saturday aimed at promoting IT education and sports development in Pakistan’s Sindh province, reflecting Riyadh’s growing engagement with the South Asian country.
The delegation, headed by Mansour bin Mohammed bin Saad Al-Saud, chairman of the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council, met with Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori to explore opportunities for youth development in technology, education, and sports.
The deals, which come as the two allies continue to deepen their economic ties, come after a recent defense agreement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The most recent move demonstrates Riyadh’s growing interest in assisting Pakistani youth and innovative efforts.
“Under these MoUs, the two countries will work together to provide new avenues of growth for youth through modern IT education, joint training programs, youth exchange initiatives and sports competitions,” the governor’s office said in a statement.
“These MoUs mark the beginning of a new phase of cooperation between Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the fields of youth development, technology advancement and sports collaboration,” it added.
Tessori expressed confidence that the collaboration would strengthen bilateral connections and help young Pakistanis develop their skills.
Earlier, the Saudi delegation also finalized two agreements to strengthen investment in Karachi’s energy sector.
These included a share-sale agreement with KES Power Limited and a cooperation framework between K-Electric and Trident Energy Limited to explore new ventures in the power and infrastructure industries.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia maintain long-standing relations rooted in faith, mutual respect, and strategic cooperation. Riyadh continues to be a key political and economic partner, with both nations now broadening their collaboration in trade, technology, and youth development.
