RIYADH: President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) Abdulhadi bin Ahmed Al-Mansouri on Tuesday received the Dutch ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Janet Alberda.
During the meeting, a memorandum of understanding was signed to boost bilateral cooperation on air transport.
Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands have a long history of good relations, which can be traced back to the 17th century. They were formalized with the opening of a Dutch consulate in Jeddah, which was eventually upgraded to an embassy and moved to Riyadh in 1985.
Dutch exports to the Kingdom include agricultural products and food, among other items while the main imports from Saudi Arabia are plastic, oil, and petrochemicals.
