Refai added, in a phone interview with Al Ekhbariya Radio, that the National Industrial Strategy, launched several years ago, aims to increase the number of factories in the Kingdom to nearly 35,000 by 2035.

He stressed that Saudi Arabia's approach encourages both Saudi and non-Saudi investors to enter the industrial sector.
