The Kingdom places great importance on strengthening its partnerships with Islamic and friendly nations, contributing to stability and sustainable development.
The Kingdom plays a pivotal role in supporting development projects in the Maldives, particularly through the Saudi Fund for Development, which has contributed over decades to financing many vital infrastructure projects, such as airport development, housing projects, and the fisheries sector, reflecting the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting developing economies and promoting prosperity in sister countries.
