Since its establishment, the Contact Office of Chinese Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (COCC) has always adhered to the principle of “serving overall interests, enhancing mutual understanding, strengthening unity and cooperation while achieving common development” and played an important role in promoting the development of China-Saudi Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and a win-win mutual economic and trade cooperation. COCC continues to grow and develop. In recent years, China-Saudi bilateral economic and trade relations have made great progress. China has become the largest trade partner of Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia has become one of China's most important overseas crude oil suppliers and one of the most promising contracting engineering markets. At present, more than 150 Chinese companies have completed registration at the Economic and Commercial Section of the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Their main business ranges from contract engineering, trade, logistics, communication services, industrial investment and park construction to high-end sectors such as financial services and etc.
I firmly believe that with the joint support of Chinese companies in Saudi Arabia and friends from all walks of life, COCC will be able to play a better role as the provider of excellent information and service, the channel of bilateral economic cooperation, the bridge of friendship between Chinese and Saudis, the platform for experience exchange and the home of all Chinese companies in Saudi Arabia.
