Speaking during a panel at the 'Made in the Gulf' conference, he noted, "Gulf countries have learned a great deal from past crises in the region, and having multiple logistics options has been key to managing these challenges."

Abdulaziz bin Salman also emphasized that "localization gives us flexibility and resilience, and at least 70% of the workforce in industrial, mining, and energy facilities will be Saudi nationals."

He explained that there are clear directives to localize all aspects related to energy, with ongoing efforts to integrate the energy, industry, and mining sectors. He added that this integration is expected to be completed by the end of November.
