The Saudi Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs, and Housing announced on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia has signed 12 housing contracts with Chinese firms, five of which are valued at more than 5 billion riyals ($1.33 billion).

This came on the sidelines of the Saudi-Chinese Business Forum that began on Wednesday in the Chinese capital, Beijing.

According to the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA), "The forum focused on exploring investment opportunities between Saudi Arabia and China, with a special emphasis on strengthening partnerships in urban infrastructure, housing, real estate development, and financing."
